Prevent skype resolving?

Hi, I have recently had a problem with a few people being able to get their hands on a nee "Skype resolved" which allows them to bypass the (only connect calls in contacts) and are currently able to get my External IP address. Now I would love to keep using Skype, but if this continues to be an issue with my IP security I will have no other choice... I have the website they use to resolve the Skype name if that is any help, but I will not publically post it here as I don't want it to get spread around.
Any way back on the point if this topic, I was wondering if there are any ways to COMPLETELY prevent someone from resolving your Skype name and being able to get your External IP address... And if there is how would I go about doing such?
ANY help would be amazing as I will continue to get hit off if this issue is not resolved. Thanks to any one who can help.

This is really easy to do, go to settings and search for this change.
If you don't use your computer your status will change to "Away" and etc. You must disable this feature on Skype settings.
I love Skype, I just decided to help people.

Deleting Old Gmail Address Prevents Skype From Lau...

Greetings,
I have an old email account with gmail, i.e. "[e-mail removed for privacy and security]," that I have attemped to delete the Google+ profile for. The deletion prevented Skype from launching on my Mac, OS X. Hence I had to reactivate the Google+ profile.
The email address currently used with my Skype account is "[e-mail removed for privacy and security]," and this is what shows in the Skype control panel as well as the account.
Does anyone have an idea as to what would cause such a thing? It makes no sense to me, however I'm no Skype guru. I really need to delete the account@gmail Google+ profile.
Thank you,
Scooby Doo

It has been a while since I looked at something similar, but I think I found that Gmail remembers all the addresses you have received email from or replied to. There might be a setting within the Gmail account when you sign into it from the computer.
Hope this helps point you in the right direction.

Prevent Skype from starting automatically

I need to prevent Skype for Android from starting automatically so it will not ring when a call comes in to my Skype-In number. Most of the time I want calls to my Skype-In number to ring on my Skype phone at home only.

I know this is an old post but this is a quite common and relevant topic with which I've spent sometime and would like to drop the solution, at least for Fedora 22 under KDE. In order to avoid skype to start at startup/login (which is quite annoying and a privacy invasion) I just deleted the file /etc/prelink.conf.d/skype.conf and that was it.(let's see if this post is up in the skype forum for long ?!)

Prevent Skype from merging contacts on Android?

Hello,
Does anyone know if there is a way to pevent Skype from merging its contacts into my Android contacts? It may be a useful feature but since there's no way to always map contacts correctly to existing ones and also that I simply don't want all of them in one place, I would like to know if I can prevent this behavior when I first install Skype on Android.
Currently I see no option to prevent adding Skype contacts on the first login and the problem is that Skype merges contacts at that point. If I go to its options and remove sync-ing contacts, the already merged ones aren't removed unless I uninstall Skype completely!
I would appreciate any help, thanks!

Can I prevent my screen from locking and requiring passcode or Touch ID after talking on Skype for a while, so I can hang up phone call without unlocking screen?

When I use my rear camera the screen is wobbly which of course makes my pictures blurry. I'm not sure if this is with the last update or what. iphone 6 regular users in my office don't have the issue on 8.3. I have the 6 plus and have the issue.

Preventing Skype Users Accessing a Toll Free Numbe...

Is it possible to request from Skype to block Skype users from dialing a specific Toll Free Number?
I work for a Teleconferencing Company and it seems like Fraudsters are using Skype to dial a Toll Free Number of ours and continually attempt to commit toll fraud on our bridges.
Because it is free to call Toll Free numbers it is allowing these people to make infinite amount of calls to try and hack our system.
So the alternate question, are Skype callers identified to telecommunications carriers and therefore can I have my Telco block Skype calls to my toll free numbers?

Hi, David_ray, and welcome to the Community,
"Toll Free" numbers in Australia may not be included in your subscription; Skype Customer Service can clarify this.
Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
Here are a few more notes to guide you along the way ...
You will need to proceed through each step, one at a time. Sign on to the Skype website as requested. Choose the subject and topic which most closely matches the item you need assistance with. Then, continue past Step 2 of the instruction where several articles from the FAQ library will appear for you to review, and proceed to Step 3, Continue Support Request (the blue "button" appears at the lower right corner of the website page). You may also skip through Step 4 where you will be referred back here to the Community; no need to do this as the Community is where you started. When you complete the webform and click Submit, your information is relayed to Skype and you will receive a reply via e-mail.
If you are a Skype Premium or other eligible customer, you will be routed to start an instant message chat session with a Customer Service agent.

Prevent Skype from updating?

I have a serious issue with Skype updating on its own.
Every few days, Skype will update to version 6.11 without permission. I've tried turning off updates within Skype's settings (didn't work), blacklisting the Skype update server (didn't work), removing the updater.exe (didn't work), disabling the Skype Updater service (didn't work), and removing the Skype Updater service from my computer using the Command Prompt (didn't work).
Even severely hobbled, Skype is still finding a way to update itself. Modern versions of Skype don't work properly with my (Windows 8 ) computer. I require Skype for work, so just getting rid of it like any sensible person would isn't an option. There has to be a better way than letting Skype update itself every time I turn my back, letting it mess up my computer, uninstalling it, and reinstalling a version that works.

This is what I got for ping:

Before last month, I was running 5.8.0.158, but after it started trying to update, I switched to 5.9.0.115 since it was the most similar version with the ability to disable automatic updates. Forced updating happens with both versions, even with the Skype Update service disabled, even with the service completely removed from my computer, and even with Skype's servers in the hosts file.
This is how the hosts file currently reads; I modified it on the seventh, with admin permissions.

I have another kind of problem with Firefox

Every time I open a site I get the "unresponsive script" warning. Then randomly throughout my web surfing. It's a constant occurrence. In fact, I've yet to go a single session without receiving a warning. For several days I was logging each message by using print screen, then saving under paint. If these are required to rectify this issue, I'd gladly send them.

Skype crash / database i/o error AGAIN

It is all happening again after 1 or 2 weeks without any problems... I posted this (http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Database-i-o-error-since-a-week-havent-been-able-to-fix-it-with/td-p/4048693) topic and got help, but now it is all happening again. How could this be possible?

That error occurs when Skype can't write any data or if that data is corrupted. If it continues to occur on your machine there are two possibilities. 1. You have AntiVirus/Firewall/Security software that is preventing Skype from writing to the hard drive. You want to make sure Skype and all it's working folders are put into the exclusion list of that software. Mainly the location%appdata%/Skype. 2. You hard drive has some corruption or is failing. A chkdsk should be run to attempt to resolve any file corruption issues. This guidance can be used on Windows XP and above.http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/guide-to-using-check-disk-in-windows-vista/ You would still probably have to perform the same reset procedure you performed earlier to elminate the existing corruption.

How to protect your IP from skype resolvers!

This is a guide on how to stop your Skype username resolved and your IP found.
NOTE: This is for PC machines not for other devices (Unless you can locate to this area on your device, then do so and see if it works then great!), a side note if you have 2 devices logged into skype (I recommend only having one.) if you have to have 2 or you cannot change these settings for both devices then unfortunately they will be able to get the IP from the device that is not protected unless you sign out of the device that you cannot change the connection settings on.
Follow these steps carefully.
STEP 1- Tools > Options > Advanced > Connection
On the top of the Skype application there should be headers, Skype, Contacts, Conversation, ect. Navigate to "Tools" and press, then go to "Options" after that locate to the "Advanced" header and find "Connection", press this and you will have settings ready to be changed.
Images showing step 1.
STEP 2- Read carefully.
Follow these steps from the top of the settings to the bottom and you should do fine.
1. "Use port [32535] for incoming connections."
2. Check "Use port 80 and 443 for additional incoming connections."
3. Select "HTTPS" from the dropdown menu.
4. Put the Host as [127.0.0.1] and the Port as [40031].
5. Uncheck "Enable Proxy Authentication" if it is checked.
6. Uncheck "Enable uPnP" if it is checked.
7. Check "Allow direct connections to your contacts only."
8. Then press "Save" in the bottom right corner.
Images showing step 2. Check if yours looks the same.
STEP 3- Finishing up step 1-3. Changing IP.
Now that you have saved the editing of connection settings you should now sign out of your skype account, quit Skype and end any Skype.exe's running in the backround using Task Manager. If you do not have any knowledge on it, I recommend just restarting your PC machine for safer measures.
When that is done this people most likley will still be able to get the IP address you have after changing them settings but if you change your IP address they will still have the old IP, not your new one. Now you are probably thinking "How do I change my IP then?", well Step 4.
STEP 4- Changing your IP address.
To change your IP there is two things you can do to my knowledge. To start CLICK HERE this will give you your IP address write or type that down somewhere so you can tell if your IP has changed later. First way to change your IP: Allot of ISP's (Internet Service Providers) these days will allow you to turn off your Networking Modem/Router (In Australia atleast.), for an extended duration of time (5-10+ minutes.) which would then change your IP this is called Dynamic. After doing this check back on the website or refresh the page and see if your IP has changed, if it has then you are done. You are safe from having your skype username resolved if your IP hasn't changed. follow the, Second way to change your IP: Simply call up support and ask them a way to change your IP address or look on online support, they will surely help guide you through and help you change it. Just tell them that people are DDOS'ing or are doing things with your IP online (explain what it is) or are going to and you want to protect yourself from it, that is if they ask why. If they do not allow you to change your IP then there is nothing I can do, unless you want to research another way on how to do it. One way or another most of the time there should be a way somewhere out there on how to change your IP just research on it. After your IP being changed you should be scott free if you have followed these steps correctly. To test use some Skyper resolving websites and use your own Skype username, if my guide has worked it shouldnt give a IP
I really suck at English, sorry about how messy this is. I found out how to stop people from resolving my IP and I wanted other people to know about this really badly. If you find this guide not understandable please tell me, I can always make a youtube video and post it on this guide or edit it.
You could also use a proxy to stop being resolved but it lowers your connection speeds for a gamer like myself this really affects me, that is why I posted this.
Mod Edit: Edited post to comply with the Skype Community Guidelines and Skype Etiquette

I apologies for the late reply, but if you read the whole thing your problem should be solved. If the person that is retrieving your I.P has gotten it before my steps, he then has your I.P, no matter if you stop anyone else from retrieving it, you need to change your I.P. I personally have a dynamic I.P so I can turn my router off to 5+ minutes and my I.P will change. This way when they then try to resolve my Skype, and try to retrieve my new I.P they are left blocked. There are also other ways to get your I.P, via streaming Skype calls he can get your I.P directly. You can always ring up your ISP (Internet Service Provider) and ask them for help on how to change your I.P address. You can also look around on the internet on how to set up a proxy, proxies pretty much defeat all the DDOS'ers that are wannabe hackers.

How much data does skype use?

I think the question was intended to seek the info related to a call made from a laptop using a MOBILE dongle. So that part is still unsolved. I'm not sure if the data usage varies for different devices. I too am eager to know the data usage for a laptop to laptop vedio call.

As long as you have an unlimited data plan, you shouldn’t incur any extra data charges for using Skype on your mobile phone. If your phone has a data limit, then please speak to your mobile operator for full details.Using Skype’s functionality, such as making or receiving calls or sending or receiving instant messages, will use more data than simply signing in and leaving the application idle. If your phone has video calling capability, video calls use more data than regular voice calls. To prevent Skype from using any of your data allowance, simply set your status to Offline.Here are examples of some typical Skype data usage:Skype-to-Skype: 50kbps or around 3MB for one minute of callingCalls to landlines or mobile numbers: 6-20 kbps or around 1MB for one minute of callingVideo calls between two mobile devices: 500kbpsVideo calls between a mobile device and a computer: 600kbpsHaving a large number of contacts on your Skype account also increases the data usage, as the application has to update more contact information, such as statuses, profiles and mood messages. If you would like to prevent this, you can create a new mobile account and only add your favourite contacts.

Skype mobile running in back ground

How do I prevent Skype mobile from activating? I tried doing the force stop in applications and everytime I turn the phone off and then back on it it starts up again. I do not use the service, and never gave them permission to access information from my phone, but they are doing it any way.

Don't tell me I don't have my story right, try doing some research and find out what you are doing wrong.

I don't know what the deal with bin32-skype-staticqt is - it's in the AUR [1], so pacman should be installing skype from multilib repo [2]. Have you enabled some unofficial repo with precompiled bin32-skype-staticqt?
Post your pacman.conf.
