Hello All
I thought of Sharing this with all, How to Block Skype using Layer7 Protocol without blocking others site.
Lot of experiments I have tried which Block useful site and did not block Skype itself.
Hope this work for you also because I have these implemented in about 12 different sites currently and it work fine.
Firstly, Update you RB or CCR to the latest current OS Version at least V6.39.2
Layer 7 Tag:
/ip firewall layer7-protocol
add name=“Block Skype” regexp=“^.+(skype|skype.com).*$”
Now apply the firewall filter rule to activate the block.
/ip firewall filter
add action=drop chain=forward comment=“Block Skype” layer7-protocol=“Block Skype”
You can modify the rule if possible.
Let me know if this Help!
