      marcelloc,

      All of my HTTP traffic must go through proxy (3128) and I'm not using transparent proxy.

      HTTPS through 443 was an concern, but it seams that the http layer 7 filter is blocking HTTPS as well.

      My network is very restrictive and all out traffic must be allowed if It is the case.

          Hi, I've been using this solution as well, but 3 weeks ago, it stoped working. The PCs can't connect to Skype, it times out. Does anyone knows if the Skype Protocol was changed lately? Is there another way to allow Skype but block HTTP/HTTPS?

          Thanks!
