Simplified port requirements for Skype for Business Online. Thomas Binder. Earlier this year we talked about making simplification for network connectivity for Skype for Business Online see blog article here and we recently updated our guidance and removed the mentioned port range as a requirement: Office URLs and IP address ranges So which ports are required for clients? Why are these ports not required anymore? User and User B are at different branch offices behind firewalls , so the media traffic cannot go directly peer to peer and needs to flow via Skype for Business Online There are now the following possible media paths The 50,, port range can be leveraged to include only a single Relay Server in the media path Without the 50,, port range, the traffic needs to travel via two Relay Server.
Our organization has these ports open, should we close them? Does this change anything for Cloud Connector Edition? Call to Action Celebrate about the simplified port requirements Update any design templates you might have For future deployments, open only TCP 80, and UDP , , , per new guideline and, optionally, 50,, UDP and TCP If you have any questions or comments, please let us know in the community This post is brought to you by Skype Academy.

Not great odds. Proprietary applications like Skype are also an growing threat to network security and individual privacy. Crucial applications like VoIP should obviously rely on open standards. Therefore, we offer to the community an open and efficient Skype and P2P filter.
Blocking Skype is a requirement for any serious organization concerned about security and privacy. Blocking P2P is mandatory for ISPs who want to prevent copyrighted material from flowing through their pipes. P2P shaping is also a must for ISP willing to spare their peering bandwidth. And we made this Skype and P2P blocker open source, so that any organization can integrate it safely in its environment for free.
