Help with RouterBoard 951Ui 2HnD

[Jake Quinton]

Hello i'm new to using Mikrotik and have a few questions regarding customization through winbox, I need to change the config so that only Facebook and whatsapp-webbased is allowed on the network. No access to other website just these, I dont have the slightest idea so please help if possible with my question, Jake.

i would not recommend that, i suggest disallowing facebook web instead if you want things to be more efficient, force people to use their phones to socialise, PC to do work, phone takes load from social apps and provides extra screen space, doesnt interfere with work. The reason is that facebook web has facebook web apps which are time wasters.

Since im assuming that this is a guest network, you can just use domain filtering, or if you want to be more complicated, use layer 7, provide the headers that the apps use or http request and allow only those connections.

@System Error Message - I agree with much of what you say - but your answer doesn't solve OP's problem. Since you're kind of the uTik experienced guy here on SNB forums - either help him or not...

@Jake Quinton - My response would be go to MicroTik support directly with the question since your needs are that specific - they should be able to get you sorted in short time...

i did give the solution, going to mikrotik support wouldnt get you a solution either. As i mentioned theres domain filtering and layer 7, pick one. Layer 7 will require wireshark because you will need to get the headers from there to add to the layer 7 list which is more elegant whereas domain filtering is pretty simple. Configuring layer 7 is just as easy as configuring the layer 3 filters once you get the hash you need.

Essentially with mikrotik you have 2 places to check for options, the wiki and the forums. There may be an example on the wiki for this.
