This guide will teach you how to protect your Skype IP from Skype Resolvers and also to prevent DDoS.
Step 1: Head over to http://www.hidemyass.com/proxy-list/, then match your settings to following picture OR you could search a proxy for your country for better/faster connection and click Update Results.
This should list the fastest proxies for the US. Obviously, substitute the country for another if you are not residing in the US (Or as I already mentioned, if you wish to use a proxy in another country for whatever reason).
Step 2: Pick a server, generally you want to go with the one at the top since it's the fastest.
The top three should give you a good fallback if the very top one becomes overloaded.
Note: Skype does not typically USE the proxy you set unless it's blocked from a direct connection however you can FORCE it to use the proxy via registry settings. That's what we're about to do.
Step 3: Go to - https://dl.dropbox.com/u/33446/twitch/skype.html
This configurator will generate a registry file for you to merge into your windows registry. It's entirely safe, and in the event that you wish to remove your proxy (You can't remove it through Skype itself), it also provides a key that will automatically remove your proxy settings.
Step 4: Put your selected proxy's IP and port in the appropriate boxes.
And click save. It will prompt you to save the file, so save it somewhere you can find it, I recommend you to save it on the Desktop since you can easily find it there.
Step 5: Go find the file, and either Right Click -> Merge... OR Double Click it.
Step 6: It will tell you that you shouldn't add information from sources you don't trust.
Click "Yes".
And we are done!
It will merge the values into your registry, now RESTART YOUR COMPUTER and you should be protected!
Remember, if your connection through a certain proxy is bad, use a different proxy! Have fun and be safe! Remember that if someone already has your IP, change it AFTER you set up your proxy connection!
