Sat Dec 10, 2011 7:32 am

hi...
i am using mikrotik router board750GL
currently i have some problem on web proxy, i configured web proxy, and i access denied few webpages and download extensoins.
for example:
*facebook*.com = deny
*twitter*.com = deny
*.avi = deny
*.mpeg - deny

but when the clients use https://facebook.com then facebook page is smoothly run
so how do i block https connection also from mikrotik router webproxy.

You CAN NOT DO THIS.

Web-Proxy is for HTTP ONLY!!! The Web-Proxy is NOT for HTTPS!!!!

You need a seperate external proxy like squid if you want to proxy https.

Actually in wiki says: "This service performs proxying of HTTP and HTTP-proxy (for FTP, HTTP and HTTPS protocols) requests, so I'm interested too...": http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:IP/Proxy

I also think that you can not use webproxy for https connections.
But if you want to try you will need to redirect https connections to your webproxy:
/ip firewll nat
add chain=dstnat protocol=tcp dst-port=443 action=redirect to-ports=8080

I also think that (actually, I never could). I'm just curious for that post in the wiki...

Webproxy with HTTPS has been discussed here many times before. I think the wiki has a mistake.

I think it is against the idea of https it self. https are secure connections, and wouldn't be apropriate for any to cache sensitive pages (except for NSA :) )
