Re: blog about tor and skype



Thank you for explaining, it's good to know that VOIP calls are encrpted. About configuring skype to use tor,  can I just set proxy server to localhost, port 9050, using HTTPS? Or is it necessary to install freecap?

Hi,

- From what it sounds your destinations are normal phones. In that case
your calls will not be encrypted. Actually, Tor could encrypt your
call up to the point where it arrives at a gateway that connects to
the public phone network. From there it can no longer be encrypted
since there's no way to handle the encrypted data in a public phone
network (yes there are exceptions but that's rare and a different
topic). In summary: you can't make fully encrypted calls to a non-VOIP
phone from what I know.

Sincerely,
Enigma
