User: prevent/allow access to network depending on the time.

RouterOS The User Manager
1

Good evening Microtik people,

I have a basic question which I am hoping to have answered. I have recently bought a Routerboard 500 to experiement further. I am hoping to prevent/allow access to my network depending on the time of day; so users can’t access the internet after 22:00 for example.

Can you explain the best way to do this?

Many Thanks!

As it was replied in the previous the particular configuration is not possible with User Manager yet.
It it possible with firewall, as it was described here,

I tried the firewall and is working but i cant specify the username in the hotspot i can onlt use MAC address, but can i use their hotspot name to block them?

‘ip hotspot user profile’ provides ‘filter-out’ and ‘filter-in’ matchers, specific ‘chain=testchain’ might be configured.

  • place rules with action=drop, configured time= and user matching data (IP address, mac-address).
  • add jump rule to forward chain, that will forward traffic to ‘chain=hotspot’.

It should work, as you have asked.

The firewall / MAC address solution sounds perfect for my requirements. Could you tell me how to do it? I would be very greatful!

Look at the link given above and use rules given in the previous post.
