How to allow Skype Out Through 300C

[janusz]

Fortigate 300C, v5.0. My problem is skype. I know how to do it with all aplication, but what with only one aplication.

I've worked on it since one week. No solutions.

Underlines, only skype.

Hello,

Go to your application profile and click on create new. Then select Specify Application. Search for skype, select it, click to monitor and OK.

Ok, that's easy, but in my application sensor I've got now to profiles with category p2p - I block this category and new filter with only skype. How to reconcile these two tasks.

Hi,

On the same profile where the Skype is allowed create a new entry where you select the P2P category then klick to Block and OK. You will have two entries under one profile.

I did what You wrote. When I block all p2p and monitor skype, skype doesn't work. But if I monitor p2p skype work great.

What colud be the reason that situation..

Are you sure that the Skype (monitor) is before the P2P (block) ?

[janusz]

That's it. I think. I will check.

I forgot about the order. Now everything is ok. Thank you very much, I am grateful. It was the solution. Greetings.
