Hi, thanks for reading this post, i have a Mikrotik Routerboard RB2011-ui-as, and i was wondering if i can use web proxy to cache videos without using external cache like squid, i already got a flash disk 64gb installed on the router, is this possible and what kind of configuration should i need.(p.s:i’m trying to cache videos on http based sites). thank you in advance for your time.
Have a look a Mikrotik’s Wiki Example for detailed information.
And check whether the videos are not encrypted…
(p.s:i’m trying to cache videos on http based sites)
Jarda nailed it: the websites being http don’t guarantee they’re streamed neither from the same web server, nor by regular HTTP instead of HTTPS. (Overlooked that)
ty for reading my post and replying , is there anyway to check if the videos are streamed from https or http?
You can use firefox firebug extension, or chrome developer developer to check the source.
If this is unconclusive, check either Ip > firewall > Connections or use Tools > Torch on your mikrotik router.
Tools > Packet Sniffer packet capture along with further Wireshark analysis would be the definitive answer.
