Submission + - Skype Bans Proxy Users?
Anubis333 writes: Skype has been banning users it thinks connect to the internet via anonymous proxies. Any payment a user makes with a credit card says the payment 'failed', causing many to spend hours contacting their card issuers. While not only netting the customers who use some types of ADSL, they are also banning people who value their privacy and use Tor/Privoxy. Skype says this is a 'security' measure, but it is much more likely that they fear international users, whom they only identify by ip address, from partaking in their free domestic calling plans.
