Possible to block Skype

Hey guys,

Been searching the last couple of days but mostly what I find states that it is not possible to block skype.

Is this right? I know there is a skype option in the QOS options, can I use this to block skype anyway?

Cheers

There are no known ways to block Skype with Gargoyle.

See this thread

You can possibly do it via command line with iptables

You might also be able to add hosts entries for any

skype.net
skype.com

etc.

Command line is much more powerful than GUI
