Sophos web appliance and Skype

Sarah77

Hi there everyone.

I'm trying to use Skype in my organisation through the Sophos web appliance but I'm not having much luck.

Sophos are telling me that they "do not support proxying Skype through the Sophos Web Appliance". Skype can't give me a list of https websites or IP addresses to add the the scanning exemption list.

Has anyone else managed this because I need to get this working. I can't just bypass the proxy server for Skype, what's the point of having a proxy server if you do that !!!

Surely someone else has had this issue??? Help please.

Thanks

Sarah

    If she's not, then I am.

    It seemed to work a while ago on our network, but now it doesn't.

    It is a very occasionally used so it could have been months ago, but skype is going to be used across our organisation now.

    Even turning off https scanning has no effect for us.

    I have read recommendations to use a socks proxy, but can't find a way of configuring one in the WA web interface.

    I'm not even sure if it our WA or our router blocking it, so is there a way of turning off the WA filtering to test?

    Thanks.
