number of connections limiting

RouterOS General
1

Hi,

Im having trouble to limit number of connections for a client.
firewall conection 100 action drop doesnt work for me, if a FW rule is setup like that it drops users internet connection.

I have wLAN and people can share files and other things bu also surf the web but p2p software is killink me and MT CANT block some torrent traffic, so matbe if I limmit number of connections i can solve problem with surf

Firewall limit is applied for TCP connection, if p2p client generates 100 connection, then HTTP and other traffic will work very unstable.
If you want to drop p2p traffic,
‘ip firewall filter add action=drop chain=forward p2p=all-p2p’ should drop p2p traffic recognized by MikroTik RouterOS (MikroTik could not drop all of the p2p, it drops most commonly used p2p applications).

thank you, just wanted to be shure. I thought Im doing something wrong :slight_smile:.

Then can I allow only some ports to be used with firewall option?
