Detailed Description

Typedef Documentation

typedef struct _LinphoneTunnelConfig LinphoneTunnelConfig

Linphone tunnel aims is to bypass IP traffic blocking due to aggressive firewalls which typically only authorize TCP traffic with destination port 443.
Its principle is tunneling all SIP and/or RTP traffic through a single secure https connection up to a detunnelizer server.
This set of methods enhance LinphoneCore functionalities in order to provide an easy to use API to

  • provision tunnel servers IP addresses and ports. This functionality is an option not implemented under GPL. Availability can be check at runtime using function linphone_core_tunnel_available
  • start/stop the tunneling service
  • perform auto-detection whether tunneling is required, based on a test of sending/receiving a flow of UDP packets.

It takes in charge automatically the SIP registration procedure when connecting or disconnecting to a tunnel server. No other action on LinphoneCore is required to enable full operation in tunnel mode.


Provision is done using object LinphoneTunnelConfig created by function linphone_tunnel_config_new(). Functions linphone_tunnel_config_set_host and linphone_tunnel_config_set_port allow to point to tunnel server IP/port. Once set, use function linphone_tunnel_add_server to provision a tunnel server.
Finally tunnel mode configuration is achieved by function linphone_tunnel_set_mode.
Tunnel connection status can be checked using function linphone_tunnel_connected.

Bellow pseudo code that can be use to configure, enable, check state and disable tunnel functionality:

LinphoneTunnel *tunnel = linphone_core_get_tunnel(linphone_core);
LinphoneTunnelConfig *config=linphone_tunnel_config_new(); //instantiate tunnel configuration
linphone_tunnel_config_set_host(config, "tunnel.linphone.org"); //set tunnel server host address
linphone_tunnel_config_set_port(config, 443); //set tunnel server port
linphone_tunnel_add_server(tunnel, config); //provision tunnel config
linphone_tunnel_set_mode(tunnel, LinphoneTunnelModeEnable); //activate the tunnel unconditional
while (!linphone_tunnel_connected(tunnel)) { //wait for tunnel to be ready
linphone_core_iterate(linphone_core); //schedule core main loop
ms_sleep(100); //wait 100ms
}
LinphoneCall *call = linphone_core_invite(linphone_core,"sip:foo@example.org"); //place an outgoing call
linphone_call_ref(call); //acquire a reference on the call to avoid deletion after completion
//...
linphone_core_terminate_call(linphone_core,call);
while (linphone_call_get_state(call) != LinphoneCallReleased) { //wait for call to be in release state
linphone_core_iterate(linphone_core); //schedule core main loop
ms_sleep(100); //wait 100ms
}
linphone_call_unref(call); //release reference on the call

Set the tunnel mode. The tunnel mode can be 'enable', 'disable' or 'auto' If the mode is set to 'auto', the tunnel manager will try to established an RTP session with the tunnel server on the UdpMirrorPort. If the connection fail, the tunnel is automatically activated whereas the tunnel is automatically disabled if the connection succeed.

Get the tunnel mode

Parameters
tunnelLinphoneTunnel object
