Skype won't work with some normal "anonymizer" solution, as these programs just mask your own and the selected IP-addresses - of those pages you want to access -
however they don't mask that Skype generated traffic, which can obviously be still detected, and consecutively blocked by those Etisluts "Snipers" and "Guardians" (used to be angels - right?) ... at least, that's what they thought-
as there's a smart solution to unblock Your Skype again:
what You need is a "Tunelling" software-solution, such as "JAP" -

that works just fine again in Dubai outsmarting Etisluts blocking attempt-
however rendered slightly slower (barely noticable) than normal, but basically running okay now!
You have to get You the latest "Developer-Version 05.337" - which brings up your Skype again to reasonable speed ...
there's one glitch though...
Antivirus-Packages like Norton Anti-Virus detect those JAP-tunneled traffic correctly as "a possibly harmful worm" (which it is in deed, a worm, not harmful) and issue a warning, and consecutively tries to block that tunneled Skype traffic;
therefore You must either shut down Your Norton-AV whilst using it - or explicitically allow thatJAP-program in the Anti-Virus settings, which works fine with Norton now - again after some fiddling;
it's probably all together 1-2 hours fiddling with the PC - but it's worth it;
had yesterday an hour or so phone call to mates in australia for some merely 60 cents !!
and by the way, you can top up your Skype credits via your normal browser as well (you need to set Your http-üroxy to 127.0.0.1 and the port to 4001 to communicate masked), as JAP is also masking the browser traffic, therefore You can reach the "normal" Skype websites - and others as weel ...
