how to stop skype IM? using squid or iptables.

I think I saw a posting about that on the netfilter (aka iptables) mailing list, search around.
In short, it is very difficult indeed.


I think squid could solve this problem. Although skype can use
port 80 for communication, afaik it does not use http-protocol,
but some private one.

So if you turn nat/masquarading on your router off and set up
your squid to act as transparent proxy for http+ftp, it will work
for valid http/ftp requests, but not for skype or any other IM...
