-== EPVPN ==+EPVPN is EVENTPHONE’s permanent, experimental phone network. Think of it as a long-running event where you can stay in touch under your pseudonym between events.
  
-Our virtual phone network - EPVPN - can be seen as a long term event in between all the other events. +The new EPVPN has been in production since 17 October 2026. The public beta has ended, existing accounts have been migrated, and the old system has been shut down. The platform formerly known as EPVPN Beta is now EPVPN. [[https://eventphone.de/blog/2026/11/07/epvpn-ist-umgestellt/|Read the switchover announcement (DE/EN)]].
-Why? Stay connected in between events while keeping your pseudonymity intact.+
  
-EPVPN is a stand-alone system and is very different to the temporary systems we use at events. It will only work with SIP extensions and small groups. Functions like forwarding, announcements, ringback tones, pause in groups, Multiring, EPDDI and DECT, known from the events, do not exist. There is no dial-out.+EPVPN supports SIP extensions and features such as call groups, announcements, custom ringback tones and call forwarding within EPVPN. There is no PSTN dial-out.
  
-<color #ed1c24>It is not possible to set up a forwarding from a temporary event to an EPVPN extension and vice versa.</color>+Call forwarding between EPVPN and temporary events is currently unavailable in both directions.
  
-== Quickstart == +{{ :wiki:logo_epvpn_b-200px.png?200|EPVPN Logo}} 
-  - [[https://guru3.eventphone.de/accounts/login/|Log in]] with your eventphone account or [[https://guru3.eventphone.de/register|Register]] before. +===== Quickstart =====
-  - Select EPVPN in the upper left corner --> My Extensions -> Add Extension for EPVPN +
-  - Configure your [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_SIP_software|SIP client]] as described below+
  
-== Dialin == +  - [[https://guru3.eventphone.de/accounts/login/|Log in]] with your EVENTPHONE account or [[https://guru3.eventphone.de/register|register]] for one. 
-  * PSTN dialin: +49 221 59619 XXXX +  - Select **EPVPN** in the upper left corner, then open **My Extensions**. Use an existing extension or choose **Add Extension for EPVPN**. Please register only extensions you actively use. 
-  * VoIP dialin: sip:XXXX@hg.eventphone.de (or hg6 for IPv6-only / hg64 for dual-stack)+  - Configure your [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_SIP_software|SIP client]] as described below.
  
-== Configuration ==+===== Dialin =====
  
-====== SIP user ======+  * **PSTN dial-in:** ''+49 221 59619 XXXX'' 
 +  * **VoIP dial-in:** ''sip:XXXX@hg.eventphone.de'' (dual stack) 
 +    * IPv4-only: ''sip:XXXX@hg4.eventphone.de'' 
 +    * IPv6-only: ''sip:XXXX@hg6.eventphone.de'' 
 + 
 +Replace ''XXXX'' with the EPVPN extension you want to call. 
 +{{ :epvpn_color_1000x739.png?nolink&200|EPVPN Logo}} 
 +===== Configuration ===== 
 + 
 +==== SIP user ==== 
 + 
 +  * **SIP proxy:** ''hg.eventphone.de'' (dual stack), ''hg4.eventphone.de'' (IPv4-only) or ''hg6.eventphone.de'' (IPv6-only). 
 +  * **SIP username:** Your extension number, for example ''1234''. 
 +  * **SIP password:** In GURU3, open **My Extensions** and click the key icon next to your EPVPN extension. 
 +  * **SIP port:** ''5060'' for UDP or ''5061'' for TCP/TLS. 
 +  * **RTP ports:** Dynamically assigned between ''10000'' and ''20000''. 
 +  * **Behind NAT?** Configure your SIP client to send keep-alive packets about once a minute. 
 +    * **FRITZ!Box:** Telephony → Telephone Numbers → Line Settings → Keep port sharing of the internet router enabled for telephony.

-Technical Data: +===== Events ===== 
-  * SIP proxy: **hg.eventphone.de** (IPv4-only) / hg64.eventphone.de (dual stack) / hg6.eventphone.de (IPv6-only) + 
-  * SIP username: **your extension number**, e.g. 1234 +EPVPN has its own dial plan. The numbering and routing rules differ from those at temporary EVENTPHONE events. 
-  * SIP password: your password as listed on eventphone.de + 
-  * SIP port: 5060 UDP or Port 5061 TCP/TLS +  * **From EPVPN to a temporary event:** While the event is running, dial ''09'' followed by the event extension. 
-  * RTP ports: dynamically assigned between 10000 and 20000 +  * **From a temporary event to EPVPN:** Dial ''01999'' followed by the EPVPN extension. 
-  * Behind NAT? Don't forget to send keep-alive packets every minute or so.+ 
 +===== Dialplan Considerations ===== 
 + 
 +  * **0...** → prefixes and routing 
 +  * **0310** → network announcement 
 +  * **1xxx** → reserved for hackerspaces. Contact us if you need a number in this range. 
 +    * **16xx** → reserved for VOC 
 +  * **20xx** → reserved for PoC 
 +  * **2100–7999** → user extensions 
 +  * **8xxx** → IVRs, scripts, announcements and automated responses 
 +  * **9xxx** → prefixes and routing 
 + 
 +===== PSTN Dialplan integration (Germany) ===== 
 + 
 +You can configure ''01999'' as a local prefix for EVENTPHONE on devices that route calls to different VoIP providers based on the dialled prefix, such as a FRITZ!Box. EPVPN strips the prefix before routing the call. For example, ''01999-0310'' is routed to ''0310'', the EPVPN network announcement. 
 + 
 +The German numbering plan designates the **(0)199** range for internal network routing. See section 3(g) of the [[https://www.bundesnetzagentur.de/DE/Fachthemen/Telekommunikation/Nummerierung/Verkehrslenkungsnummern/NummernplanVerkehrslenkungsnrn.pdf?__blob=publicationFile&v=1#page=7|Bundesnetzagentur numbering plan for traffic routing numbers]]. 
 + 
 +See also the [[https://guru3.eventphone.de/event.wasm/phonebook|online EPVPN phonebook]]. If GURU3 shows another event’s phonebook, select **EPVPN** in the event picker. 
 + 
 +===== Phonebook via LDAP / CardDAV =====

-====== Events ======+===== Account cleanup =====
  
-If an event is running you can call the users on the event by the prefix 09. Users on the event can call the EPVPN users by the prefix 01999.+We regularly delete accounts whose registered email addresses can’t receive mail and release extensions that haven’t been used for more than a year.
  
-====== PSTN Dialplan integration (Germany) ====== +Please check that you can receive mail at the address registered in GURU3 and release any extensions you no longer need.
-Users of PSTN numbers may configure **01999** as prefix for eventphone, which is set up to loop back to itself - so e.g. 01999-0310 will be reduced to 0310. +
-This loopback feature comes in handy when configuring devices such as the Fritz!BOX that can switch between VoIP providers based upon different prefix numbers.+
  
-The German numbering plan reserves a range (0198 - 0199) as prefix for network internal routing. Thus the prefix 01999 should not conflict with any assigned national prefix. +===== EPDDI =====
-(see https://www.bundesnetzagentur.de/SharedDocs/Downloads/DE/Sachgebiete/Telekommunikation/Unternehmen_Institutionen/Nummerierung/Nummerierungskonzept/Nummerierungskonzept2014.pdf?__blob=publicationFile&v=1 page 88 for further information)+
  
-== Dialplan Considerations == +[[epddi|EPDDI]] is available only at temporary events. EPVPN does not offer EPDDI.
-  * **0...** -> prefixes and routing +
-  * **0310** -> network announcement +
-  * **1xxx** -> reserved for hacker spaces (call us if you need one) +
-      * **16xx** -> reserved for VOC +
-  * **20xx** -> reserved for PoC +
-  * **2100 - 7999** -> ordinary user extensions +
-  * **8xxx** -> IVR, Scripts, announcements, automated responses +
-  * **9xxx** -> prefixes and routing +
-see also: [[https://guru3.eventphone.de/event/72/select.exe?name=epvpn|Online EPVPN Phonebook]]+
  
-== Phonebook via LDAP / CardDAV == +Offering EPDDI on EPVPN would require us to purchase a license we do not currently hold, build a multi-OMM setup, and operate and maintain a permanent SIP-DECT installation. We’ve decided against taking on the licensing costs and ongoing maintenance.

 +===== FAQ and Troubleshooting =====
  
-== FAQ and Troubleshooting == +  * If your SIP client fails to register, check the server and the credentials for your **EPVPN** extension in GURU3. 
-  * all services are operating smoothly: relax.+  * To test your connection, dial ''0310'' for the EPVPN network announcement. 
 +  * If you need help, contact [[https://guru3.eventphone.de/support/|GURU3 support]].
