Might be a bit of a tangent: use SIP at home via internet (discuss.tchncs.de)

I use a SIP provider for the landline at home. When on vacation I want to be able to make outbound calls with my landline number. I know this can be done, but I have no idea how. Does anyone here have some pointers for required hardware, software and configuration?

I've used them for well over a decade, I even sent the CEO an email when I had a CS rep telling me I couldn't do something I knew I could. He sorted it out within the hour.

Thanks. Unfortunately that site doesn't load.

Maybe you can email the CEO asking them to check their site on tor browser in strict mode?

Voip dot ms employs a ton of countermeasures versus skript kiddies as voip fraud is a severe problem. You are unlikely to have much luck with Tor Browser. I have to ask them to take my boring data center IP off their greylist every time I want to add cash to my balance.

Sounds like they don't know how to do security, then

Are the rest of their engineers so incompetent, or only their security department?

Yah, I'm not going to do that.
