I'm doing DNS filtering, first you only allow dns requests to your local dns (router or pihole or other), then you filter facebook related requests. Done! Works perfectly fine for me, doesn't eat up resources.
dear Mr Maher Haddad kindly share the video about the youtube and other social media block in efficient way this video is very helpful for us thanks again for this video kindly make the video for youtube and some other social media block in mikrotik thanks
Awesome tutorial and it works. I use open dns servers. Unfortunately, other Google services cannot be reached, eg, Google Sheets etc when blocking RU-vid a work...
This option can be detect DNS queries and block DNS server, then check port 443/tcp (443/udp maybe) and 80/tcp, also limit "Connection-bytes=0-8000" to check first 8kb before TLS encrypt.
1st question?? Brother, can you make a block website? such as youtube, facebook, google, other browsers and search browsers and others. should the user only be able to use online games??.. but only select users..?? can mikrotik do it?? 2nd question?? is it possible for other users to do everything like games downloading searching, watching and so on???.. but only selected users can use that??
Great job have a nice video i have done by MAC address but i want to know how to add bulk mac address (Scenario i wish to add by mac addresses which one i want to block )
After applying the first rule ,before applying the drop rule .I didnot see any traffic and any ip collected in address lists . What could be the reason sir?
thank you, but what about whatsApp and Instagram which they are already related to facebook and they used the same prefixes, will they also be affected ?
Hi mr. Maher, It looks like facebook use the same IPs for the messanger too. Is it possible to blok facebook but to allow messanger in some way? Looking forward for your reply. ps. Thanks for the video, guideing me in my firs mikrotik steps:)) Best Regards,
Hi. Great video. I'm having a hard time with workers on Facebook and WhatsApp. *First question* that I have: Can you set "none dynamic" to let it collect forever, instead of 96 hours, done in your configuration (could this be set forever)? *Second question* : I watched your other video that blocks WhatsApp. I tried that IP list, but I don't think it's working with WhatsApp... I issued an netstat -a command in Windows and it shows whatsapp-cdn-shv-01-gru1.fbcdn.net that's on IP 157.240.222.60. We can see here that somehow that list needs constant feed since this can only be a new server. The ticks are still going. Would we need new IP information? Is there a way to block WhatsApp by content argument - specially blocking on cell apps. We need to block this... And thank you again for using Mikrotik with this. Many thanks.
