Not really. It's a directly connected extension just like an internal phone. Sure they may be rules on it but that doesn't change the fact that it's on your PBX.

In Asterisk, and with some other PBXs, you can designate extensions as being external. It's a weird thing but because the VoIP trunks are external (but are just SIP lines like any phone) the idea that there is an internal side and an external side is purely one of logic in the PBX. He's right, the web phone clients can be turned into fully external and connect no differently than any non-internal SIP call.

even a VOIP trunk is an extension, but who say this is internal or external, the configuration who decide that,

a SIP trunk isn't an extension.

Exactly. The VoIP Trunk is a SIP extension like any other. An external user can call you outside of that trunk via anonymous SIP to SIP calling too. This is basically what you are enabling for someone in doing this. Just setting it up so that they don't have to set it up themselves.

In Asterisk it is. It's just another SIP connection.
-
the fact that a webphone is an outside line is its ability to accept multiple calls in one time not like internal extension one person can call in one time

That's actually not trunk a SIP trunk and extension aren't the same.

Actually that's not a limitation of the internal extensions either. Each extension is itself a trunk with unlimited call handling capabilities. Just no one enables that, normally.

What's the difference?

A Trunk is the Circuit, an extension is not.
-
In Asterisk, the VoIP trunks are configured in the extensions list. Asterisk sure calls them extensions. And technically they are no different than any other extension, other than normally they originate from the inside out.

so returning to the main question, anyone have any idea how to set a webphone in freePBX ???

Depends on how you have set up the webphone. What web phone will you be using? I suspect that the web phone documentation will tell you what to do.

FreePBX has no limitations. It will treat it however you want.

but how??, this is the problem, i think it is difficult and require a solid CLI asterisk background

That could be. FreePBX might not expose that functionality.
-
And you'll need to expose your PBX to the internet to make this work.
