Greetings!

Tell me how to allow Internet access on the computer ONLY for Skype?

It is necessary that only Skype works on the computer (Windows XP). Access to the Internet in the organization is carried out through a proxy (some commercial type TrafficInspector). I have full administrative access to the computer. You can ask the administrator of the organization to make any settings on the proxy.

In fact, a local firewall can, in fact, deny access to all applications, allow only skype. In principle, it can even be standard, starting either with Vista or with 7ki. The user will not be able to do anything to others.

I would give not only the administrator a head for such a violation.
In general, it’s good to put a separate simple machine and allow Skype on it, otherwise it will be like with viruses in the control modules of nuclear power plants and flying autonomous drones in the US Army

No way. Even if you block all ports and find those through which Skype works. Then you can just forward a proxy through open skype.
All kinds of programs, browsers, you also do not block. Their hordes.

Well, suppose, if the goal is to limit the roaming around tyrnets for ordinary non-specialist users, you can block all popular browsers with standard Windows tools, prohibit the installation and launch of custom software.
Further, after some time, we look to see if users have shown ingenuity and found holes, which we then also close.

Rather, as a joke, you can wrap Skype in RemoteApps, if audio devices are thrown, there will be quite a beautiful isolation. But this is about the realm of science fiction, but about reality: Internet Lock 5.3 . Perhaps there are free analogues. And here is a simple article on the topic.

Shell parameter in skype.exe in the registry + prohibition of starting the task manager through gpedit.msc + autologon through the same registry

damn it, make only a list of allowed applications through policies, yes, you can bypass it and rename firefox.exe to skype.exe, but you need to think of it
