[Freeswitch-users] what ports should open on firewall for skypopen

[Steven Ayre]

The same ports as Skype itself would require.

They have a firewall guide on their website:
http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/support/user-guides/firewalls/

Almost all firewalls will allow Skype through by default, since it
uses outgoing connections on port 443. Everything else can then run
through that connection. You should only get problems on extremely
restrictive firewalls that filter outgoing traffic (most don't) and
which enforce the protocols using each port (most don't).

>From the website:
    *  Ideally, outgoing TCP connections to all ports (1.65535) should
be opened. This option results in Skype working most reliably. This is
only necessary for your Skype connection to be able to connect to the
Skype network and will not make your network any less secure.
    * If the above is not possible, open up outgoing TCP connections
to port 443. This will only work if you are using Skype version 0.97
and above.
    * If the above does not solve the problem, open up outgoing TCP
connections to port 80. Some firewalls restrict traffic to port 80 to
HTTP protocol, and in this case Skype can not use it since Skype does
not use HTTP. In some firewalls it is possible to open up all traffic
to port 80, not just HTTP, and in this case Skype will work.
    * If the above is not possible, Skype versions 0.97 and above can
use a HTTPS/SSL proxy. In order to do that, you have to configure the
proxy address in Internet Explorer options. Skype will then be able to
use it as well.
    * Please use our problem reporting form to report details of all
instances when you have experienced a problem with Skype and a
firewall.
