I recently started working with Mikrotik and need to add something to the white-list?
How do I find it?
I’m currently using Winbox and the gateway is a RB/493ah…
Thank you
Whitelist for what?
Web sites? If so, how is control implemented - proxy? Firewall rules?
General IP traffic? If so, it depends on your firewall rules.
You will need to be more descriptive and give more details to get a sensible reply.
I’m faily new to this.
As a matter a fact Im enrolled for the 5 day mikrotik course cert.
I honestly dont know quite alot.
How do I access the whitelist it self.
I basically need to add a chat link on a portal for a website that we use and I was told that I need
to add it to the whitelist.
and that was it?!!
It depends on what whitelist is being used. Whitelist is simply a term that means “there’s a list of stuff that is explicitly deemed OK, and everything else is by default denied”, as opposed to a blacklist, which means “there’s a list of stuff that is explicitly deemed bad and is denied, and everything else is by default permitted”.
I guess start by posting the output of “/ip address print detail”, “/interface print detail”, “/ip route print detail”, “/ip firewall export”, “/ip proxy export”, and a network diagram. Wrap all output in
tags when posting here. You can run those commands by clicking on the New Terminal button and typing them in, and then copying out the output via normal copy/paste.
ok thank you Mr. Guru 
I’ll go ahead and do that.
There is no such thing in RouterOS, a whitelist feature is something you have to create by yourself.
A whitelist feature consist of the following:
- Address list.
- Firewall rule that accept certain IP addresses from an address list (whitelist).
- Firewall rule that deny everything else, otherwise a whitelist does not make sense.
Example of a whitelist feature:
Picture 1: The address list.
Picture 2: Firewall rules.
Picture 3. Where the address list is supposed to be added to the firewall rule.
MikroTik RouterOS process rules in the same order they are listed, from the top to the bottom. When a packet matches the criteria of any rules, then the specified action is performed and no more rules are processed in that chain (the exception is the passthrough action). A packet is accepted if it has not been matched by any rules within the chain.
