Centralized Wall Garden

RouterOS General
1

Hi people,
After installing lot of MT hotspots, now I need how to have a centraliced walled garden for 100 MT hotspots. It is because I want to have a list of forbidden URL (Parental control for children: no porno, no gambling) and I want that this list is comoon for the 100 hotspots.
I can configure a script to have the MT hotspot updated. But, is there any method for a Mikrotik reads a central server (MT) of walled garden?
Thanks.

Unfortunately it is not possible to send these attributes via RADIUS server.

So, you need to consider different approach for walled-garden rules.
Probably you can create .rsc file or rules, that will match exact
syntax for example.
/ ip hotspot walled-garden
add dst-host=www.1.com action=deny
add dst-host=www.2.com action=deny

But you will have to post these rules into router console or paste
.rsc file into the router, unfortunately there are not too much flexible solution.

You can try to create script,

  • that will connect to FTP server
  • download *.rsc file
  • run script import.

Thanks for your quick answer. We normally launch a script from a

server for update the MT configuration in all our devices. Currently
we use rsc file to do it.

However, I want an automatic update from mikrotik hotspot and I
explain that.
My goal is a MT device is able to change its configuration
automatically, in this case the walled garden entries (insert,
delete). So I thought about it and I want the MikroTik device connects
to a FTP server, downloads the rsc file and executes this file. IF
MikroTik OS let connect to a FTP server (it means to have a ftp client
feature), I can schedule a task for an update every week.

Do you have any solution for doing that?
Do you know if in following MikroTik OS version you add this ftp
client feature?

Thanks

FTP client is implemented in RouterOS 3.0 versions.
It is available from ‘tool fetch’.
