Sean follow the intstructions below so you could UNBLOCK SKYPE

All the best,

It’s not hard to do and I promise you if you follow these instructions to the letter then it will all work out and you will have Skype back up and running in no time.

1. Download and Install FreeCap

2. Download and Install Vidalia

Use the default settings and locations for both of the above installs (just click ‘next’ ‘next’ ‘next’). Then when it asks you at the end if you want to run them, say yes.

3. Copy and paste the attached config file into C:\Program Files\Privoxy

When it asks if you want to overwrite the existing file, say ‘yes’.

4. Add skype to FreeCap

Start the FreeCap application if it is not already running (Start Menu -> All Programs -> FreeCap). Click on File -> New Application. Make it look exactly like what is written in the screenshot below. If the path to your Skype program is different then change it accordingly, however for most people what is below will be correct.

5. Make Skype use this cool new stuff we installed!

Once you have finished the above, click ‘OK’ and you should now see a little Skype icon inside FreeCap. Now in the main FreeCap window click on File->Settings. Make the settings page look exactly like the screenshot below. You should only have to change the Server and Port, and make sure that the Protocol is SOCKS Version 4.

That’s it, we’re done!

Now close that settings dialog. Click on the Skype icon inside FreeCap and go to File -> Run. Skype should now connect. If it doesn’t then make sure that Tor is running, which means right click on the little cherry-looking thing you should now have in your system tray and click on “Start”. If the cherry thing is already green, then Tor is running. Skype will take a little longer to connect but be patient, it will work.

Optional: The above programs will automatically run when you start your computer. If however for some reason they are not running, you can copy and paste the startup file below to your desktop. Rename it from startup.txt to startup.bat and then double click it and all these new programs will start running again. Remeber though you must always run skype manually from within the FreeCap program (Start Menu -> All Programs -> FreeCap).
