How to be "unresolvable" on Skype

Before we start, I will explain what we are going to do here.

 

In this tutorial, you are going to be forcing your Skype to connect to a proxy via registry settings so that your real IP cannot be obtained via Skype Resolver.

 

So you know how Skype has the option to set a proxy for you to use? Well it never actually connects to that proxy unless you cannot directly connect to Skype (using your real IP). You can circumvent this by forcing Skype to connect to the proxy via registry.

 

Step 1. Obtain a HTTPS or SOCKS5 Proxy.

    You can get either of these types of proxies via http://www.hidemyass.com/proxy-list/ (or some other proxy list) and specifying which type of proxy you would like to find.

 

Step 2. Follow this link: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/33446/twitch/skype.html

    Once you're here, choose the type of proxy that you are using (HTTPS or SOCKS5), enter the IP Address and the port of the proxy and then hit "SAVE TO DISK"

 

This will save a .reg file to your desktop/downloads/whatever path you chose to download it too.

 

Step 3. Merge/Open the .reg file.

    Navigate to wherever you saved the registry file, right click it and click on "Merge". Alternatively you can just double click the file and it will have the same effect.

 

Step 4. Restart Skype/Computer.

    I'm not entirely sure if you have to restart your computer every time you do this or if you can just restart Skype (sign out and sign back in). I've done some experimenting and it seems as if you can just sign out and sign back in once you've completed the above steps and it should work just fine.

 

Remember, if you end up getting a bad proxy or if your proxy dies you can always go back to https://dl.dropbox.com/u/33446/twitch/skype.html and download the SkypeRemoveProxy.reg file located to the right of the "SAVE TO DISK" button. You can also do this if you don't need to/want to connect to a proxy upon signing into Skype.
