I have been looking all over to find a solution that I can implement into MK router that would auto deny access to sites containing
adult content but been falling short finding it.
The closest match I have found was opendns but when trying to add the firewall filter as:
It seems like I must indicate udp or tcp otherwise will get MT error.
I’ve been doing lots of search but I came across a post here “can’t remember which one” it was talking about if
the ISP deny local udp port 53 lookup… so is there a bypass for that if that was the problem? I mean I have
done everything possible, step by step almost for the last 15 hours but not made it work. Have setup open dns,
configured it, have added the entries into MT but not working.
would masquerade have anything to do with it?
I have also manually changed pc’s dns setting to the ones of opendns, but porn sites get no effect.
If your ISP is blocking outside DNS then there’s pretty much nothing you can do. You can check if that’s the case by directly querying OpenDNS - assuming you’re on a Windows machine, move it outside of the Mikrotik router, open the command line and run “nslookup http://www.google.com 208.67.222.222” and see if you get a reply. If you do, your router is misconfigured. If you don’t, your ISP is very most likely blocking OpenDNS. That’s outside your sphere of influence and a good first step would be to call the provider and see if they can help you out.
It’s also possible that your provider is doing the same thing you are doing, just on a larger scale - redirect all DNS directly to their DNS servers. Again, that’s outside your sphere of influence and you’d likely have to talk to them for a workaround.
