Re: The Skype begin refusing payments making on their site through the Tor

[M <moeedsalam@xxxxxxxxx>]

I know its a bit off topic, but since we are on the subject of Skype, i have some questions on computer to computer phone calls...

1) Does an isp know what username you are connecting to skype? 

2) Also, does the isp or the skype server know the person you are connecting with? 

3) Also, from what i understand, when you connected to skype, the username is associated with the IP i am connecting with correct?

I would really appreciate some help on this subject.

I cannot make payments to them from my credit card about a half of month.
Today I find in their FAQ that one of possible causes of that is "Using
an anonymous proxy to access the internet".

Could this be because the exit node you are using is not located in the same country where your credit card is registered and so Skype are deploying their anti-fraud system?

 (Their technical support
could not inform me about concret causes of that problem).
It seems as a next step of attack of anonymity enemies against making
payments with using the Tor.
