    Well I definitely enjoyed studying it. This tip provided by you is very practical for correct planning.

    hi there,

    isn’t just enough to install tor and proxychains and then start skype with a simple:

    proxychains skype

    ?

      It depends on the default configurations for proxychains (should be different for different versions and distros). Also it’s not just enough to install proxychains and proxychains skype at least not enough if you want your skype connections to go out with constantly rotating IPs and this give you some skype anonymity. Using proxychains with skype directly without tor will transfer all skype traffic only via a single IP address. This is not that secure as having the traffic being rotated via a constantly rotating IP address (offered by the Tor network).
      Hope this answers the question.

      Best!

    thank you for the clear explanation

    if I follow your how-to I get errors, If I just proxychains skype without changing configurations it connects but I cannot communicate with contacts

    I am busy with other stuff right now but when I get the time I might come back to you with errors I get

    of course if you don’t mind 🙂

    thing is you seem to know a lot about, and also there are no many info on the web on how anonymizing skype (at least I cannot find them)

    cheers

    Once I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new feedback are added- checkbox and now every time a comment is added I get 4 emails with the identical comment. Is there any way you’ll be able to take away me from that service? Thanks!

    nor proxychain neither torsocks/torify can proxy/tunnel udp packets so skype can be deanonimized without a firewall rule that blocks udp output.

    Skype protocol is indeed closed source so none can say that the real IP is not included in the delivered UDP/TCP packets , like bittorrent for example.
