Hi, we need to block https://www.facebook.com/abs/ssd
from our microtik CCR1009.
How do we do that ?
So possible to do with CCR ?I would try using a L7 firewall rule but these are high CPU cost. Lucky you have a ccr
And possible to do specific URL block for http URLs ?No it is not possible! Note the "https" which means "secure" communication.
The communication is encrypted and the router never sees the URL.
Even when you setup a proxy server, the router sees only the hostname not the part after it. So then you
can block entire facebook but not one specific page.
Are you sure? I didn't know that - I have set up a URL blocker with proxy.Even when you setup a proxy server, the router sees only the hostname not the part after it. So then you
can block entire facebook but not one specific page.
Thanks for the clarification. Your explanation is excellent We can block www.facebook.com but not the specific pages due to https.No it is not possible! Note the "https" which means "secure" communication.
