Hello,
I hope someone will be able to help us with this - I need to make Skype available for a couple of users - they'll use it for conferences.
We are running version 8.102 - recently installed.
When going to skype.com, Firefox gives me Connection timed out and IE8 - the message attached below.
I added this site to white list and also to the list of proxy exceptions which skips pretty much every http/s check - usually this helps.
I added the user names of the users that need access to the list of users that are allowed to bypass all blocks - no go.
I added their desktop's IP addresses to the transparent host skips group to skip http proxy all together - no good.
I pinged skype.com from my home computer and got the IP - came up with 78.141.177.7 and 204.9.163.162 - one of them seems to be in Luxemburg and another one in Canada - unblocked both countries - still no good besides the fact that now I can access skype.com via IP address - but not the domain name.
Many links would open because the URLs are IP-based:
http://78.141.177.7/intl/en-us/special-offers
http://78.141.177.7/intl/en-us/prices
But once I click on Sign-in - the URL will be https://secure.skype.com/account/?intcmp=sign-in and it fails again.
The ISP has confirmed that both IP addresses are listed on their Name Servers. Plus, I can can ping both - IP addresses and the domain name directly from the firewall but not from my desktop - so it must be Astaro configuration....
I might need to add a Packet Filer rule and/or DNAT entry but not sure what i should add to make it work...
Anyone who can help?
Thank you so much in advance!
Suvie
