If you have already installed skype on your pc back from your home country, uninstall them. Then try installing again by downloading this installer http://www.skype.com/download/skype/windows/downloading/

NO, its NOT BLOCKED... the only restriction on VOIP/Skype is the illegal use i.e. for commercial purpose ..
