  • the connection is being blocked by the proxy.  try setting a pf rule allowing skype to go out.

  • I did that, I put pf rule allowing IP--any--> any, I put the IP address in the exception list of both IM/P2P, I can see in the PF log that nothing is blocked, I allowed the Instant Messaging and chat..etc categories.  Still not working, 
    the only way it worked when I created a NAT rule, and I don't want that because it will bypass the http proxy.
  • tech, if I understand your last post correctly, you allowed inbound traffic from the IP, but I beleive that William's suggestion has to do with outbound traffic from your Astaro.

  • outbound is from the lan to internet right? if so that is what I did, I mean by the ip is the address of the user's computer who wants to use skype
  • as a quick fix to the problem I created SNAT rule 
    "user's ip address" --> https-->any 
    Source translation-> internet interface
    and now it is working
