actually i need to know whether freePBX accepte webphone as an outside line or only accept the traditional lines (PSTN, PRI, VOIP trunk)
FreePBX has no limitations. It will treat it however you want.
-
but how??, this is the problem, i think it is difficult and require a solid CLI asterisk background

That could be. FreePBX might not expose that functionality.

And you'll need to expose your PBX to the internet to make this work.

Yes, for sure.

I don't see a web phone available there. Can you use their web phone product without their PBX?

not necessarily, a port forward will do the job without exposing you PBX with a public ip

That's probably the problem the OP is running into. Can't seem to make it work directly - which it's probably not meant to.

as far as i'm concerned you cannot,
but really it a very very good feature that allows you to increase your incoming phone calls and bring new costumers -

Still exposed, but not fully. Better than nothing.

I'm not sure how this is different? OK it's a bit different, and it's exactly how I would expect nearly anyone to set it up, only opening the required ports to the outside.

i think if you use a simple webphone (without being associated with any PBX) you will not be able to route the call to a hard phone, it will be kind of a skype call which is not practical in our business at all, the agent must answers calls with a hard phone

yes but there is a difference between giving your PBX a public ip or put it in the DMZ and port forward
-
Skype can be answered with a traditional phone, at least consumer based ones. I'd be surprised if there wasn't a module for some PBX (maybe not FreePBX) to accept Skype calls.

port forward is more secure than exposing your entire PBX to the cloud

Sure, but I also didn't say to give it a public IP, I said that you'd need to expose it to the internet - which you do through a DMZ NAT Port setup as well as by giving a public IP.

sure i understand what you mean, i just get scared by the term exposing lol, i prefer using the term port forward for security reason

Very true
And also completely irrelevant. Because to make this work you are port forwarding the ports for a device to register to your PBX. This is a huge attack vector and not something you ever want to do without very solid IP restrictions IMO.
