Strange skype and socks5 behavior

Have configured Skype to use Socks5 with "Automatic detect settings".On the client Win 10 machine I have a proxy agent which sets system proxy address depending on network.

When starting Skype, I get this in the UTM socks log

2016:07:07-15:39:34 fw sockd[29168]: info: pass(1): tcp/accept [: 192.168.1.10.65433 192.168.1.1.1080
2016:07:07-15:39:34 fw sockd[29168]: info: block(1): tcp/accept ]: 192.168.1.10.65433 192.168.1.1.1080: error after having read 24 bytes: access denied by AUA

What have I done wrong?

  • Erik, I use SOCKS5 with Skype, but configure it to use the proxy on port 1080 instead of using automatic.  Do you have the credentials for your UTM user in the connection configuration in Skype?  My guess would be that you need to do a manual configuration in Skype with those because your Skype credentials are different.  Just a guess based on the AUA comment in the log.

    Cheers - Bob

  • The user account is set and is working for other services, like Sophos Authentication Agent, so the credentials is working,

    The reason for using automatic mode in skype is that when i am connecting to the Internet form other locations than home, like mobile broadband, I do not want to configure it manually.


    I am also using a proxy confifuration application on the client, setting the system proxy setting, just for using Skype in automatic mode. That part is working according to the log.

    Just tried manually settings,

    Strange...

  • Just tried to to use manual mode in skype using port 1080 and I am getting the same result in the Socks log :(
