Hello all!

Please, can I use hotspot to limit users to specific time of the day? Also, can I use hostspot to limit users to specific ports - so that some users will only be able to use email clients to receive mails.

Thanks!

Answer: Yes you can-I.e.: using a radius server or use Mikrotik Users Manager.

Also, can I use hostspot to limit users to specific ports - so that some users will only be able to use email clients to receive mails.
Answer: Yes, you can make it setting up a firewall rule that allows some users in a certain IP address range to not send email.... There are many ways of doing it.You can setup the email address one user will have and based on it,implent the priviledges you want.

To control time, You can use either Firewall Rules combination along with specific ip pool, or as ColonelSteveAustin advised to use User Manager to restrict specific users/profiles. To restrict few users internet activity, You should assign them ip from specific pool like 'restricted_pool' and then create firewall rules that blocks all ports or dst EXCEPT allowed ports like tcp ports 25,110 or whatever.

Thanks for the info. This is actually my first time of using mikrotik.

I have set up an ip pool and used firewall to limit users of that ip pool to specific time of the day.

I am yet to implement limiting users to specific ports. Do I have to create a firewall for each ports or can I just list the allowed ports?

Please, diagrams or specific step by step instructions will be very helpful. Thanks in advance.
