<div dir="ltr"><div>Lee,</div><div>Our remote sites are connected via OpenVPN tunnels. (between the remote's UBNT EdgeRouter Lite and our Untangle at the main office).<br></div><div>This allows our remote extensions to appear as local endpoints to the PBX.</div>
<div>Honestly, this has worked _much_ better than expected and saved some real headaches dealing with SIP, RTP, NAT and security.</div><div><br></div><div>We are considering letting an agent or two work from home, so I find myself in your position also.</div>
