Skype is not working through squid Proxy

Asked by Suresh

Hi Team,

We are using squid proxy in our environment. We are trying to allow skype in our squid proxy

but didn't succeed.

We came to know that squid proxy will not working with squid authentication but with

authentication it's not working.

After we have changed the couple of settings in configuration i have found the simple logic

configuration working in weird.

Most probably skype uses 443 port only. below i mentioned is the default configuration part

in that all default ports and unknown ports are added in squid configuration file default.

acl SSL_ports port 443
acl Safe_ports port 80 # http
acl Safe_ports port 21 # ftp
acl Safe_ports port 443 # https
acl Safe_ports port 70 # gopher
acl Safe_ports port 210 # wais
acl Safe_ports port 1025-65535 # unregistered ports
acl Safe_ports port 280 # http-mgmt
acl Safe_ports port 488 # gss-http
acl Safe_ports port 591 # filemaker
acl Safe_ports port 777 # multiling http
acl CONNECT method CONNECT

While i used the access list(acl)

http_access deny !Safe_ports ( Means all mentioned safe ports to be allowed and deny other

ports)

In this browser asking proxy authentication for internet access and works after authentication

but skype windows application not able to login

If is use this acl
http_access allow Safe_ports (Mentioned ports to be allowed and deny other ports

All browser working without authentication and skype too works

Most probably both the rules are same but acting differently. I am confused could anyone help me to understand this issue of fix this issue
