The Solution
I got my skpye back working. You have to use Primedius WebTunnel.
I'm using the purchased version for $99. I'm not sure if the trial version
is really working - but it should.
a) Get the free trial by writing to unblock @primedius.com and putting
the word FREE in the subject line. You will receive the exe file. Install
the file (software) you receive.
b) The first time you start WebTunnel application, you will be promted
for an email address. Be sure to provide correct spelling of email. You
will then receive an activation code to that email address.
c) Deactivate your Firewall or allow WebTunnel in your Firewall
d) Reboot and login
c) Configure your WebTunnel settings (Self explanatory)
d) Configure your Skype Settings that it uses the WebTunnel
(SOCKS 4 or SOCKS 5)
The SOCKS Settings are:
SOCKS Ver: SOCKS 4 or SOCKS 5
Hostname: localhost
Port: 8999
Thats it.

When everithing is installed. In short, the flow to connect to Skype is
following:
1. Deactivate your Firewall
2. Launch your WebTunnel Software
3. Launch Skype
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Basic knowledge: Every browser or Softphone you are using you must tell
(how) to use the "WebTunnel".
If you are using the WebTunnel with IE or Firefox you have access to all
blocked Websites here in the UAE.
IE Settings: Extras > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings
Click Settings and Tick “Use Automatic Coniguration Script”
and write the location of the script on your computer
(for expl file://D\PRIMED~1\Primedius.pac)
Firefox Settings: Tools > Options > General > Connection Settings
Tick “Automatic Proxy Configuration URL” and write the
location of the script on your computer
(for expl file://D\PRIMED~1\Primedius.pac)
