Calls fail when VPN is on

VPN tunnel needs split-tunnel config, otherwise all RTP goes via VPN server.

Try this first

  1. 1Split tunnel: keep VoIP domain and SIP IP outside the tunnel
  2. 2Or route everything via tunnel with proper QoS on VPN server
  3. 3Lower MTU on VPN to 1400 if packets get fragmented
  4. 4Wireguard usually beats OpenVPN on latency

When to bring us in

Cannot split? Move cloud PBX SBC closer to the user.
