Boy, now I am in trouble...
I run an exit node from my home address for a few weeks now, but my gf starts complaining she cannot use Skype anymore to chat with her mum.
I understand Microsoft blocks all tor exits from accessing Skype. Is there anything I can do except converting the exit into a relay?
As others mentioned, Jitsi is a great alternative, but to your question: If you want a happy gf, you'll need Skype, and the only sure fix is to convert to a non-exit. The Skype problems will magically disappear after a few days. Using a VPN *might* work, but Microsoft blocks access from many of those too.
Complaining to Microsoft, especially if you're a paying Skype customer, might not help, but it can't hurt.
