[QUOTE="Zymf, post: 209607, member: 20865"] I presumed that this was already released on here, I guess I was wrong. As most of you are probably aware, Skype 6.5 is soon to be. A main feature of the update is that Skype Resolver's will not work as usual. The developers of Skype have had multiple complaints about users IP's being leaked, and they eventually acted on it. Anyway, I'll keep this short. You can actually download the Skype 6.5 BETA, allowing you protection from Skype Resolvers. Click on the link for more information, as well as the download.
