Allow skype, but block skype file sharing

[aveva_palo]

Hi

I've been asked if I can use our Palo's to allow skype calls, etc... but block users being able to send/receive files using Skype.  if this possible?

Thanks

Andy

Hi Andy

Skype encrypts all its outbound traffic so once you allow outbound skype, you can no longer control filesharing inside the tunnel

ps: we are ofcourse working on a way to make this possible in a future release

ok thanks.  I'll hope for the future that it's resolved.

Skype may need to meet us in the middle
Perhaps with their business version?

Hello,

We would like to block screen and file sharing. We are running PANOS 4.0.8.

Could you please share any news about this type of filtering ?
