Skype doesn’t work via Vodafone 3G in Egypt

3gskype

I've bought 3G Vodafone modem in Egypt. Everything works fine except Skype. Skype just doesn't connect. I guess Vodafone just blocked Skype?

Do someone know how to workaround this problem?

How to Get Around It

The work around is connect to a VPN. A VPN bypasses the firewall, because after you make your initial connection (which your ISP can still deny) you have formed a private tunnel between your computer and your VPN’s server. So when you go to use Skype you’re not going through the firewall at all. You can basically do whatever you’d like.

Ways to Get a VPN

There are tons of websites that offer this service for free, and my best advice is to just try out a few and see if they’ll work where you are. Things change on a daily basis, so keep switching around if you hit a roadblock.
