Disable Supernode in Skype
As you know, Skype uses a p2p network to exchange data. If you have a powerful enough computer, then Skype can decide to make you a Supernod and, as a result, Skype traffic from other network participants will go through you.
Starting with version 3.0 of the program, it became possible to disable such a “feature” so that other people's Skype traffic would not go through you.
To do this, you need to get into the registry and create a branch there:
After the system reboots, the new setting will take effect.
For convenience, you can use a .reg file , which itself will add the necessary parameters to the registry.
Additional Information:

2. The group policy template (.adm) , which allows you to more flexibly configure Skype settings.
