Yes, it is possible with proxy.
You can create rules /ip proxy access, regular expressions are supported too there,

Small hits in using regular expressions:

* \\ symbol sequence is used to enter \ character in console
* \. pattern means . only (in regular expressions single dot in pattern means any symbol)
* to show that no symbols are allowed before the given pattern, we use ^ symbol at the beginning of the pattern
* to specify that no symbols are allowed after the given pattern, we use $ symbol at the end of the pattern
* to enter [ or ] symbols, you should escape them with backslash \.

Firewall does not allow to filter by DNS names.

Sergey, any plans on this topic?
I'd like to buy CCR1036-series device, but...all of a sudden it isn't capable of filtering by URL. IMHO hardware limitations couldn't be the obstacle to implement it. Or am I wrong? :-)

You may try L7 content filtering

If this feature really works (I don't try it), it was your solution for http (not for https)
