Once you have access to your Google Cloud Navigate to (Compute Engine) to create a VM.
Click on create
Setting up your VM
Name Your instance (Lower case) no spaces
Choose your region and zone
Machine configuration (Choose General-Purpose)
Building your instance
Choose your operating system. (For this tutorial I am using Debian) You can use Windows or any other Linux flavor.
Service Account (Choose Compute Engine default service account)
Access Scope (Choose Allow default access)
Firewall Setting (Choose Allow HTTP traffic and Allow HTTPS Traffic)
When done, click create.
Running instance
Now that the VM is running, Google has provided us with an internal IP and external IP addresses. These IP addresses will be assigned to the Vodia PBX to determining the audio packets.
Edit the firewall
Next, we are going to set up the firewall on Google Cloud.
Click on your instance as shown below.
Next, scroll down to (Network details) and click on (View details)
In the right-hand panel choose (Firewall rule).
Create Firewall Rules
Click on (default-allow-internal)
Change the IP source address from to 10.128.0.0/9 to 0.0.0.0/0 and save.
This will take care of the following ports
80 (TCP)
443 (TCP
5060 (UDP)
5061 (TCP)
RTP Ports 49152- 64512
LDAP Ports 2345-2346
Installing the VodiaPBX Phone System
To install the VodiaPBX, we need to log in with SSH, to do this, click on the SSH drop down and choose (Open in the browser window).
Allow login only from listed address ( is optional)
Save the password in a safe place
Behind NAT
Since Google Cloud is behind NAT, we need to program the Vodia PBX to use the external IP address of the VM. The ( IP Routing list ) in the Vodia PBX is used to override the operating system IP routing table. (This setting will be consulted by the system before consulting/using the operating system)
To check your internal/external IP address, click on the three-line icon and scroll down to (Compute Engine)
In this example, my internal IP is 10.150.0.2 and my external IP is 35.236.234.40
Inmitten der Pandemie schienen Millionen von einsamen Desktop-Telefonen auf einsamen Schreibtischen in einsamen Büros weltweit zu stehen. Sehr viele Menschen arbeiteten von zu Hause aus. In einem vor der Pandemie unvorstellbaren Übergang konnten Benutzer plötzlich Apps – und sogar ihre Browser – verwenden, um Anrufe zu tätigen und zu empfangen. Was im Büroalltag zur vertrauten Routine geworden ist, wird uns noch lange, vielleicht für immer begleiten.
When it comes to the right telephone system, the exact ratio doesn’t even matter: the system needs to support all modes of communication. Most organizations are figuring out which mode works best for each employee, and it would be unwise to address this while installing a new system. There are users who don't like to use the app and prefer a desktop phone; other users prefer the app. And there are cases when users want both.
