[OpenSIPS-Users] Security

see its too easy to use opensip if you are familiar with linux.
just to test jisti you can use iptel.org's sip server which is free of cost.

if you are usng opesips for personal use dont go for opensips(as you'll
need to setup server and manage it ,instead you can use free sip
services<search on voipinfo.org for those>eg iptel.org) to encrypt please
use ZRTP

use zrtp (http://zfone.com/prod_zfone.html) to encrypt your calls.if you
use SRTP protocol then also it will work.
