I've installed the web-proxy as per the example on the wiki, I would like to know if we could block websites from a text or spreadsheet file?

If this can be done, it would make my life much easier.

after you have added one or two block rules to your webproxy access list (and they are working), do the following:

1. command "/ip proxy access> export file=rules"
2. download that file to your PC and open with a text program

see how that file is made? all you need to do is add extra lines with other addresses. you can use a spreadsheet program to do this. the file can be imported with the "/import" command

Thank you, not exactly what i had in mind, but it will work all the same.

if you can somehow automate the process of updating this file (like a Macro or something), then you can also make RouterOS auto-fetch the file and execute it with the "fetch" tool. It will download it from a webserver and run it.

The "/import" command does not work, when i did a check it only lists export. I'm assuming i'm meant to do this at /ip proxy access

I'm Using v3.19

no, you should do "import" at root level

I'm new at all this, how would you actual setup fetch rules
