What do I need to whitelist to be able to use Skype?
Hello,
I've only just started with OpenDNS, so please forgive what might be a dumb question.
I have the Chat category blocked, but want to allow the Skype desktop application for Windows (not the Win10 app if that makes any difference). I've been adding the URLs that I can see blocked when I use Fiddler, but whilst I can make calls on Skype, chats don't get delivered.
Anyone know what I need to add to my whitelist to get Skype chats working? Here's what I have in there so far (not sure these are all Skype-related)...
go.trouter.skype.com
skype.com
trouter-neu-b.trouter.skype.com
live.com
secure.skypeassets.com
skypeassets.com
client-s.gateway.messenger.live.com
Thanks

To find domains which are still being blocked, you visit your blocked domains stats at
https://dashboard.opendns.com/stats/all/blockeddomainsThen you will see what needs to be whitelisted. Btw, skype.com already covers this and all subdomains like go.trouter.skype.com and trouter-neu-b.trouter.skype.com. You can remove these subdomain entries. The same applies to skypeassets.com and secure.skypeassets.com, and live.com and client-s.gateway.messenger.live.com.
