Hi all,

I am attempting to decide on a VOIP provider and currently leaning towards purchasing Obihai (obi100) and configuring it with google voice.

My concern..

Is VPN required for VOIP?

Or only for streaming movies (Apple Tv/Ruku) ?

Your confirmation is greatly appreciated.

Strickly speaking from an IT background:

Is VPN required for VOIP?
No

Or only for streaming movies (Apple Tv/Ruku) ?
Yes, because many of the content providers look at your IP address.

Your confirmation is greatly appreciated.
