Ok so I've been trying over and over to find some way I can get Skype to use socks.
As we all know, Skype overrides its proxy settings.
So far, I've come to the conclusion that you have to somehow firewall all other connections, leaving it no choice but to connect to Socks / Http / Https proxy servers you have installed for it.
Doing this is not easy. I've found a way how to completely block all inbound, outbound and forwarding connections and this is by iptables:
iptables -P INPUT DROP
iptables -P INPUT DROP
iptables -P INPUT DROP
But this will block all connections, all I need is an exception to these rules, allow only one IP adress and port to connect from/to, but I've reaches a dead end.
Following some google searches, I was lead to this forum, where people are using this Astaro software to do exactly the same thing.
I'm looking for some hints on how to do this, maybe with iptables or even with installing another software program.
I'm using Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex, older version, have skype .deb installed
Thanks
