Application Control (Skype, eg.) without any packet filter rules, ASG 8.2

denko2k
Hi, 
I am quite new here and hope anyone could help.

I have activated the HTTP-Proxy and my network can access HTTP connections (transparent mode) without having any packet filter rules defined.

Application Control accepts all SKYPE connections.

But: SKYPE can only connect in case a packet filter rule “Network >> Web Surfing >> Any” is activated. 

Why do I  need the packet rule? In the case of FTP or HTTP, I don’t.

Thanks

    In the case of full blown proxies, such as the http or ftp, hidden packet filter rules are automatically created to allow the proxies to function.

    Application Control is a new feature which is really designed more as a blocking feature supplement to other proxy services, than a means to allow.  From the in-line help:
    The Application Control functionality of ASG allows you to shape and block network traffic based on the type of traffic.


    FYI, many people use the socks proxy for skype.
