It is best to avoid using a firewall and just use the native security features in Linux to secure you PBX (iptables, fail2ban, tcpwrappers, etc).

That being said we have successfully configured several firewall types to work with Asterisk but it is pretty tricky. Depending on how your system is setup, the 401 Unauthroized could be a normal response, but it is hard to tell without knowing your network infrastructure or server setup. On a normal call from a phone the phone sends an invite, the server sends back a 401 (telling the phone to send its credentials to send the call) then the phone sends its SIP user/pass followed by another invite.
