Behaviour

If some firewall rules are used is not possible to login in Skype for Desktop and in Skype (Windows Store). I tried both with a new/clean installation.

Steps to reproduce this issue

  1. Open Skype
  2. Try to login

Expected behaviour

A successful login

Actual behaviour

It hangs for some minutes and then it shows "Unable to sign in, please try again"

Rules used

  1. data/firewall/extra.txt

  2. data/firewall/spy.txt

Configuration

Country (ex. United-States) : Italy

Operating system (ex. Windows 10 Pro 64 bits) : Windows 10 Enterprise 64 bits

@Blank517 Don't use extra rules if you want Skype to work. Extra rules block third party applications like Skype, Bing, Live, Outlook, NCSI, etc.
