If you want to
say "I tried to use 3Proxy instead of squid and the problem persists" then you just have shown that it is not a squid problem! Generally, skype is very good in playing tricks at the firewall. The proxy is the least problematic part here. Skype will try to use http, https or even tricky UDP protocols to route traffic through the firewall; it is even reported to get incoming connections going on a outbound-only firewall setup by keeping a UDP session open all the time. With this background, it is unpredictable how long a connection persists. Besides, a skype PC connects arbitrary "servers" in arbitrary places via HTTPS which is VERY UGLY for a security advisor. In short - you cannot really track down what it does exactly as it is all "black box" and so you cannot really adapt your system to it. Another point to make is that it hard to keep up TCP sessions for hours ongoing; you need a controlled environment for that which you do not have between two skype sites over the internet.

Hope this helps,
