So why not post your solution here or is there something to hide.

Dear rocketman,
Just in case you have not understood, Etisalat, the phone co causing all of the problem is looking for these solutions too...so they can block them.
Case in point, the peacefire circumventor sites...they got on their email list and block them damn near as fast as they appear. Hence, private messages and phone contact to make sure you are not telling them something they can use to block you again.
Best thing we can do is make sure we are only giving solutions to expats...
Meanwhile they can stuff the UAE. I figure on being in Jordan shortly. My company has lots of work there for me. It is either that, or I simply retire...

Try http://anon.inf.tu-dresden.de/win/download.html . There you find a small program called JAP. Just follow the instructions and change the Proxy in the Internet Explorer, not in any other browser, since Skype uses the Internet Explorer data. Please remember to change your settings in Skype also. All in all, 5 minutes of work. And than you can use Skype as always.

Greetings

Use PersonalVPN program. This will open up all the block sites including all VoIPs like Skype, Yahoo Voice etc... Its only $39.99 per year. I am using it and it works fine.......

Dear VoiP Unblock

The reason I didn't put my suggestion in the forum was so Etisalat don't get word of it and block the website for anyone to download...

However, please mail me and I also have a discount code you can use.

here is your solution,

get a firewall adsl router, etisalat cant block skype once you have done that cause you have NAT ip's . if you stick with their cheap usb modems you cant avoid being blocked. This by the way works for the skype software not the website access.

I've managed to get Skype working from UAE using a VPN, with OpenVPN (www.openvpn.net) and a certificate for a public openvpn server endpoint...If you want to know more send me a message in private!!

i dont know what you did but it doesn't work for me. Im on a MAC computer.

Also - I think etisalat did some kind of new security for users who utilize Skype.. they blocked it somehow.

i have used this when i was in the UAE and it worked just fine

i use openvpn on a mac through http://www.witopia.net. very easy.

Lucy,
Please help me. I recently went on a med cruise and had planned to use skype to stay in touch with my ill son back in the US. The cruise ship had it blocked and I couldn't getto it. Please help because I will be taking 2 cruises next year.
