Or you can isolate your use some other way and use tcpdump or wireshark. You said that in effect, whatever system you're using skype from... is using, or is behind, the ip of an exit node you run. And that skype blocks your ip (tor nodes). So there's nothing you can do but find another ip to run one of the two from since a service like skype is more likely to block from geoip a1 or tor consensus than counting users it sees multiplexing to it over your ip as ways to tell an ip is a tor node to block. You also said 'eventually' which may mean your ip is dynamic, or you're running skype behind a tor client and are experiencing normal roving at the end of your three hop tunnel. Skype may be prevalent, but it is now proven untrustworthy in regards to content monitoring. Consider using a replacement such as jitsi and helping all your correspondents add it as well. https://prism-break.org/ -- tor-talk mailing list - [email protected] To unsusbscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
