Thank you for explaining, it's good to know that VOIP calls are encrpted. About configuring skype to use tor, can I just set proxy server to localhost, port 9050, using HTTPS? Or is it necessary to install freecap? Enigma [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that. Sly16, I read somewhere Skype is just encrypting its own protocol but not the traffic itself. Not sure whether it's true or not. In any case Skype users rely on a closed source protocol so no one really knows if

The problem is that Skype uses either UDP or TCP, depending on the situation. If it chooses TCP, Freecap will intercept it Roger, Would you agree that Tor should be able to tunnel UDP traffic too? There's a /lot/ of UDP-based applications that it would make sense to tunnel over tor.

Would you agree that Tor should be able to tunnel UDP traffic too? One day I'd like to support this, yes. It's hard though: http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#TransportIPnotTCP Forwarding raw IP is difficult, I agree. But it's UDP I'd like you to forward. Considering

I don't know how to force skype to use only tcp, but one way to know whether it is using tcp (therefore tor) is to look at the little flag before the place where you enter the phone number. When it is different from where I am, it is probably using tor. I'll check out zfone and probably
