Why Do VoIP Calls Fail After a Firewall Rule Change?

11/10/2026

Voice signaling may connect while audio fails if media traffic, NAT handling, or provider allowlists changed.

Checks to make

Compare the change window with call failures, review vendor-required signaling and media destinations, and test inbound, outbound, and two-way audio. Inspect firewall logs and avoid opening broad port ranges without provider guidance.
