Hi,

I have a RB750GL, which I use behind a bridged ADSL modem to connect to the Internet. RB750GL is connected to a 8 port switch.

What I wish to do, is implement some blocking/limiting of P2P traffic, and primarily limit the time period, which the children's computers can connect to the internet. That is allow them to connect from 09:00 till 21:00, no connection from 21:00 till 09:00.

Please any links, to examples, or explanations, of how this might be best achieved, will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Edit:

Sorry - forgot, my own desktop, and home server, need to be excluded.

For specifics, reference here: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:IP/Firewall.

-Create an address list with the 2 PC's you want to exclude in it.
-Create a "forward" chain firewall rule to drop packets arriving at your LAN-facing interface and originating from machines *NOT* on the address list. On the "Extra" tab there's a time setting.

See attached screenshot for example.

If you only want to block one PC during the specified time, you can ignore the access-list and simply set the "Src Address" in the firewall rule instead. My example will exclude all PC's except the ones you mentioned.

Deleted because not related.

That could work, but seems very rigid

@dobby

I had not considered VLANS, this seems to be a more flexible option, I don't have a RB250GS handy, but am looking, do have a second RB750GL. Am looking for a RB250GS.

Many thanks, to both of you.
