Mikrotik website blocking (Youtube, Facebook etc)
Asalam o alikum Brothers/Sisters in this tutorial we will learn webiste blocking/ website filtering/layer 7 filtering in Mikrotik.
It is actually How we can block different access to different website like facebook, youtube in Mikrotik Router board.
The model i am configuring in this tutorial is RB 3011.
It’s really simple. we will use regular expression for layer 7 filtering .
A regular expression (regex or regexp for short) is a special text string for describing a search pattern.
After a regexp is matched for our defined policy (specific IP / IP pool) we will then drop the packet.
Let’s start.
1) Login to MIKROTIK using WINBOX
2) On left menu Select IP -> Firewall
3) Go to TAB “Layer 7 Protocols”
4) Add a new Rule , give it a name
and specify a Regexp
Ex: .(facebook.com)+.
.(youtube.com)+.
5) Now go to “Filter Rules”
6) Add a new Rule.
7) Under General Tab:
->Select Chain: Forward
->Src Address : IP address you want to block
You can also specify a pool.
8) Go to Advanced TAB:
->Select your created Regexp under “Layer 7
Protocols”
9) Now finally go to actions TAB:
-> Select drop.
For testing purpose i will block youtube and fb
on my PC (192.168.10.30)….
