Hello everyone,
Im trying to block the social media websites but it wont works well on routeros.
is there any way to block.
I have tried with layer7, TLS, Address list…
Another topic on the same thing…
Use the SEARCH function on the forum: it is full of this type of topic…
And as usual the answer is: It cannot be done permanently,
and everyone responds just to have fun objecting pointlessly about this thing.
Just like Rextended pointed out, it’s nearly an impossible task with a standard router. There are plenty of threads about it, such as the recent one http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/how-to-block-youtube-effectively/175599/21
If this is in a corporate settings, talk to HR and help them craft a policy that watching youtube or doing anything outside the scope of work is subject for expulsion, we’ve done this and it works 100% of time sometimes technology is not answer for a modern tech world, just my 0.2$
or the corporation uses edge routers or other internal routers with IDS services ( with ability to look at encrypted data )
