[OpenSIPS-Users] Presence over TCP with NAT, possible bug

Wed Feb 11 21:11:02 CET 2015

Hi Pete,

If the TCP connection (the one used to received the SUBSCRIBE from end 
user) went down, when sending an in-dialog NOTIFY, OpenSIPS will refuse 
to open a new TCP connection (the policy is to accept connection, not to 
open connections towards end-users).

Can you check if this is your case ?
