    Hi,

    I setup SFB Server on the network and my users are using it. I want that users in the outside of the network(Internet) could use Skype. How can I do that? 

    Thanks

    Hi Eminent20201

    You will need to deploy an EDGE server and Reverse Proxy

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/skypeforbusiness/plan-your-deployment/edge-server-deployments/edge-server-deployments?toc=/SkypeForBusiness/toc.json&bc=/SkypeForBusiness/breadcrumb/toc.json

    There's plenty of links out there to set up both. You will of course need some spare public IP's, public DNS records, new public certificates and some knowledge of networking to set it up correctly.

    You can use an existing reverse proxy if you have one currently or a simple Windows server using IIS AAR

    Using a Windows Server is my least preferred. If you able to use a Kemp\F5, this would be better.

    Regards

    Hi!

    You will need to deploy an Edge Server with public certificate:

    And also, deploy a Reverse proxy, that could be a Web Application Proxy from Microsoft

    https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/dodeitte/2013/10/29/how-to-publish-lync-server-2013-web-services-with-windows-server-2012-r2-web-application-proxy/

    https://www.admin-enclave.com/en/articles/skypeforbusiness/224-use-ms-web-application-proxy-as-reverse-proxy-and-adfs-with-skype-for-business.html

    The certificate in Edge Server could not be a wildcard if you plan use federation, but you can use for front end services like meet, webservices....

    Hi,

    Agree with the above two repliers.

    To let users use SFB with external network, you will need to deploy Edge server for your organization.

    Edge is to handle the External Desktop Skype for Business client requests and External Media Traffic, it provides three external Edge services which are Access Edge service, Web conferencing service and A/V call service.

    Here you will find more details on Edge server:

    Kind regards,

    Calvin Liu
