Mac – Configure Skype proxy setting

macNetworkPROXYskype

I would like to use Skype's proxy setting on Mac. However, when I click "Change",

enter image description here

it just takes me to SystemPreferences -> Wifi -> Advanced -> Proxies.

What am I supposed to do to set up a proxy for Skype? I wish to do this because others can resolve and attack me with booters very easily thanks to Skype.

I would like a method that does not require an additional application. Please do not post links to apps which attempt to route the connections on a per-app basis. It should be possible to do this without one.

Preferably, I would like a proxy "just for Skype". Not for the entire OS to use.

How can I configure a proxy to be used by just Skype?

You can set up a Proxy in OS X of your choosing and let Skype use it.

Skype works with HTTPS and SOCKS types of Proxy.

Alternatively without setting up a Proxy and in order to protect your privacy in Skype you can simply use the Skype feature to Hide your IP.

Open Skype- Preferences - Advanced.
