| - | == 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:// |
| - | 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, | + | EPVPN supports |

| + | ===== Dialplan Considerations ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | | ||
| + | * **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 '' | ||
| + | |||
| + | The German numbering plan designates the **(0)199** range for internal network routing. See section 3(g) of the [[https:// | ||

| - | ====== 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 |
| - | ====== 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 | + | |
| - | 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:// | + | |
| - | == 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, | + | |
| - | * **9xxx** -> prefixes and routing | + | |
| - | see also: [[https:// | + | |
| - | == 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. |
