| reply to TxJohn Re: MJ incompatible with Verizon Security Suite
said by TxJohn :
At this point I was told that MJ is not compatible with Verizon Security Suite. This is never mentioned by MJ and in fact they state on their web site that they are compatible with firewalls. Myself and others use MJ with a firewall. You have to distinguish between a firewall that blocks connections *from* the extranet into your local network. And, a firewall that blocks connections *to* the extranet from your local network.
MJ works fine with the former. There's no need to open ports, etc. But, if someone has a restrictive firewall to prevent them from accessing the extranet, then you have to open ports. This is described on the magicJack wiki FAQ (»en.wikibooks.org/wiki/MagicJack)
