Si_ Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Hi, We have a few linux clients consuming ridiculous amounts of bandwidth on our network, entirely down to Skype (one client has done 6gigs in 2 hours alone). I can only assume this is down to them becoming supernodes. Is there any way to disable this on the Linux client? We've done it on windows boxes with the registry tweak, but google is coming up with nothing for Linux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadite66 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 if you set up port forwarding on a router and tell skype to only use that port that should stop super nodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si_ Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 Does it matter which outbound port I choose? e.g could I open one outbound port, and get all clients to disable the option to use 80/443 and just use that port, and that would work?
