hello i would like to use Skype from my Tor exit node (which is running
Linux) but, for whatever reason, the powers that be at Skype have banned
my IP address. i would therefore like to know how to block access to
Skype in my torrc, so i can resume using Skype.
i've tried asking in the Skype forums which IP:ports to block but have
not received any response. i've also tried to monitor the connections
Skype makes when i start it up, and it connects to quite a number of
different IP:ports. i've blocked all of these in my torrc and still my
IP address eventually gets banned.
am i on the right track here? do i just need to keep monitoring my
connections to Skype and continue adding the various IP:ports i notice
to Reject lines in my torrc? what is the best way to see which IP:ports
Skype connects to? i was using a netstat command like this:
netstat --inet -acenp | grep ESTAB | grep skype
but if i remember correctly, this continually prints out all the active
connections, thus giving me a bunch of redundant data...
