Hi All,
We want to block skype file transfer from our users. Checking on the application-list, I can only see Skype and Skype-probe.
Here are my questions:
1. Is there a future plan to add additional skype sub-applications (skype-video-call, skype-file-transfer, etc.)?
2. Is there a work-around to block skype file transfer?
Thanks and regards,

If application uses proprietary encryption then there is nothing Palo can do to look deeper into it.
Unless application behaviour changes I don't think there is going to be better control over those apps.

I'm suprised there aren't more controls around what I would think is a pretty widely used service.
