In split-tunnel VPN scenarios where the Teams client is detected as external but can still reach the internal interface of the Direct Routing SBC, Microsoft signals the external location to the SBC, which can cause prolonged call setup and in some cases no audio on inbound PSTN calls; the page says VPN administrators must block access between remote VPN users and the SBC internal interface.
