Eddies, solution is not the best.
I would try squamish, its cheaper and doesn't require any software, it works for mac too.

That's a good idea.

Put all the links in the public domain so that the internet provider knows what to block.

I think 410 has the right idea. But it would appear not too many agree with me.

And ps and by the way, squamish, I don't think B****o would be too pleased to have his name website splashed on this site over this particular subject.

Mate

Well said, I agree with you.. lets open a website and keep it updated daily so ETI-SLAGS know about where to block.

Happy SKYPING....

Gentlemen
I had lunch with an old friend of mine yesterday who is involved in a lot of government projects in Dubai ,which includes Eataslut.I mentioned this voip blocking to him and hey presto he asked me the following question.
"Did you know which 2 countries in the world try to block voip comms"
North Korea and the UAE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So Pravi 2, here's a quick question for you. If you're asking Eddie to pm the details of the fix to you, WTF didn't you pm the ****ing question to him?????

---

Gents, as I attempted to point out on an earlier thread a couple of months ago, the Powers That Be in Dubai used to deal with VOIP in very much the same way they deal with unmarried Westerners living together - ie, if it's not rammed down their corporate throats, they can pretend it isn't happening and ignore it.

But when it's shoved in their faces, it becomes a different matter. Those who've been here long enough will remember the pilot at Gulf Helicopters who was arrested and imprisoned after his ex-wife in England contacted the police and complained about his living with his girlfriend in Dubai.

When people continue to post messages on an open forum like this announcing - even boasting, some of them! - to all and sundry that they are still managing to get around whatever hurdles Etisalat has put in place, for Etisalat, it's a bit like the chopper pilot's wife.

If people would follow 410's advice and let this thread die, (maybe even pull it into Admin, Moderator?), things might settle down and we might find they return to normal afer a few weeks or months.

I said in my original post some months ago that I would be very pissed off if I lost my Skype connection because of ***ing fools prattling on about it on Prune and was howled down by some for doing so. (I'd only just got my relations back home to use it.) Having lost it, let me repeat that I'm very pissed off, but as much with the people who caused Etisalat to react they way they did as with Etisalat itself.

A few words for the EK crew in dubai

1-Use google search
2-Type "Vidalia Project"
3-Download an install (available for mac and windows)
4-Follow install instructions (proxy server settings in internet options, connection, LAN settings, use proxy server, advanced, need to be changed)
5-Run vidalia and use skype
6-Watch the Dirhams go from "E" to your bank account!!!!!

Happy VOIPing!!!!!!!!!

The program provides "Anonymous" surfing therefore not "illegal" as you are protecting your pc from virus attacks by hiding yor IP address therefore allowing all internet traffic without "E" being able to see what you are doing.
