| Jan 26, 2021 at 4:11 | comment | added | iwakun | @MarkScheck The IP changes depending on which lab or area within the university I am. But I double checked, and the issue with Skype still appears on the Android phone and does not on the PC, even when both devices are connected on the same wifi and share the same public IP. | |

| Jan 25, 2021 at 8:45 | comment | added | Robert | @iwakun As far as I know Skype uses firewall hole punching technique to establish certain connections. May be network access on Windows does allow a deeper access that simplifies hole punching and on Android the network access is only possible on a higher level? Alternatively the Skype desktop app may use a different server/API that has been white-listed by the network admins. | |
