MSN blocked behind Astaro - working port numbers?

My Astaro is blocking MSN to the outside world. I've done a bit of research, came up with this interesting article:
http://www.itreviews.co.uk/forum/2855

I can't believe that MSN service would require such a broad range of open UDP ports? What a potential security breach...

So, instead of applying this remedy, anyone figured out how to do this the Astaro way? As in, what port number(s) did you use when setting-up packet filter rules for allowing MSN Instant Messenger?

Thanks...
Paul

As you see if you want to use all features of MSN you have to make a big hole to your firewall.
Cause of that I enabled SOCKS for it and all works...
Try it!

Have you tried voice with SOCKS? Does it work? I cannot seem to get voice to work through SOCKS...
What version of MSN are you using?
