Why Skpye classify as high risk application?

Hi ShunzeLee, 

Thank you for bringing this issue to light, I will check and request to reclassify the risk level.

Aditya Patel 

users should be able to edit the classification level on their own.

There is even a feature request. For example we cannot add to the classification other APPS/TCP/UPD port services.

Hi Aditya,

I see the risk level of Skype was adjusted to 3.

But can you tell me what the different between Skype and Skype Service?

Thanks~

Shunze,

from docs:

You can get all help directly from Application > Application list > click on each APP.

I still have the idea that risk should be editable and allow custom APP to be added to XG from Admin (using for example a tool that can be installed on workstation to catch all the headers, traffic connection and generate the APP).

Regards
