@JaredBusch said in Using Vultr for FreePBX 13:

My setup with FreePBX 14 on Vultr.

1. There is no firewall on Vultr blocking anything.
2. My home network is marked trusted in the FreePBX responsive firewall.
3. The tftp protocal is allowed in the FreePBX firewall to local connections.

I can connect to from my desktop with tftp but I cannot download anything.

Exactly my problem. But I concluded the same thing. Who cares? I do have a small reason to care, but I've got a workaround and moved on to other topics. Thanks for your 2 cents! Glad it wasn't just me.

@JaredBusch Yep. tftp is not optimal for security reasons. Nevertheless, it actually does not seem to work in a hosted freepbx environment and I can't figure out (yet) why. I've turned off the IPFW (yes, I know...this is a test box). I've set the xinet service tftp to verbose logging and tracked the activity. The tftp client successfully talks with the server, requests files, but eventually times out with no data transmitted). I've set my local firewall wide open for the IP address. I'm able to tftp locally from another known good remote tftp server. I've checked the freepbx forums (there are similar complaints about tftp, but those are not on a hosted server and tend to be user error). Was hoping you had run across this issue and made it work (even though it's not recommended). Thanks for your feedback.

@JaredBusch Hi, Jared. I appreciate this information on Vultr. I've got a hosted freePBX system up and running on Vultr now. Have you had trouble with tftp in a hosted environment? For the life of me I can't get it working. Works on a local install. Does not work on a hosted install. I've checked too many things to list here, but was wondering if you (or anybody else) has gotten it to work in a hosted environment. If yes, then it's back to lab for me. Thanks.
