I don't know how to force skype to use only tcp, but one way to know whether it is using tcp (therefore tor) is to look at the little flag before the place where you enter the phone number. When it is different from where I am, it is probably using tor.<br><br>I'll check out zfone and probably switch if it is user-friendly. Many thanks to all, that was really helpful.<br><br><br><br><b><i>Enigma <Enigma@anti1984.com></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----<br>Hash: SHA1<br> <br>Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that.

your connections are encrypted you might want to consider<br>using other tools or techniques for voice communication that support<br>open source encryption.
