Changing default IAX (Inter Asterisk Exchange ) port number

on
When you live in a country that Voice Over IP is banned and filtered you will test everything to overcome filtering . Changing default ports to non-standard ports are one of them (changing port will not solve filtering issue but may be useful for security scenarios ) . The bindport is an option in iax.conf to change the default port to listen on . But it never worked for me and this is what I did .

edit the source code for iax channel :

vim /usr/local/src/asterisk-11.7.0/channels/iax2.h

And search for default iax port that is 4569 ( the last 4 digits of mark spencer cell number ) and chang it to the port number you want :

#define IAX_DEFAULT_PORTNO              8001

you will need to recompile asterisk . 

cd /usr/local/src/asterisk-11.7.0/
make
make install
