      I am trying to block Skype calls and chatting on Skype along with blocking Yahoo Messenger using pfSense.

      Anybody have any idea how to do that. I am using Layer7 traffic shaper in the firewall rules. But its not working.

      Please help

        You could install the Snort or Suricata package and use the "Emerging Threats" policy rules to block Skype activity.

        Here is a link to one of the rules.

        You can review some forum posts in the "package" section to help get you started.
