This is a list of my firewall rules. Do you think they would affect the performance of the proxy?

I am using a CF to cache, I have however changed it to "system" to test if that is where the bottle-neck is.

Gromit

It seems that everything is slow. I use the proxy mainly to limit staffs internet usage by blocking specific hosts (i.e facebook). Is there a more efficient/quicker way of doing this without slowing the traffic down?

Gromit

Hi there

I have a RB532 running 2.9.49 with no issues hence the lack of upgrading.

I have however over the past few weeks noticed that when browsing internet on a PC configured to use the proxy it is terribly slow.

Any reason for this? Or anyone have a solution?

Gromit

no one

Hi Guys

Need a little help. I am wanting to create a batch file that will telnet/ssl into a router and create a user on the user manager.

Can anyone please help me out with the syntax?

Gromit

Gromit

I got it to work. I created an address list with the IP range of the IPs needing to be redirected to the proxy. The created an NAT rule using the address list.

Gromit

When running a hotspot and a normal network of the same RB how do you config the proxy? I want the hotsot to have full access to the net but the other network I want to limit using the proxy. Would you change the NAT rule so as to only redirect IP addresses on the local network (not hotspot) to the ...

Gromit

Maybe you must make sure your jumper, is the jumper is set to enable PoE or Not? or check the power jumper and according with your power adaptor used.

thanks,

These new routerboards you do not need to change the jumber for PoE

Gromit

It sems the problem migh be caused by power surges and not the factory fault many are refering to. I will install a surge protector and see if this solves the issue.

Please let me know if anyone else has the same response from a power surege.

Maybe it's same with your problem?There is describe about possible solutions.

Yes I saw that thread. I was just wondering if the routerboards will be swapped out by the supplier?

Gromit

this is a known issue, contact your distributor for help.

What is the solution? A BIOS upgrade? or swop out?

Gromit

It's RB532 rev.5 or some older revision? When you buy that RB?

They are all new units, all purchaced in the last 2 months.

Gromit

Not to sure if this problem has been documented before. I am running a RB532 with an MT-R52 wireless card with a PoE injector. They run fine for a while then for no apparent reason they lock-up with the blue light flashing and a continous beeping. Any idea what causes this? Its happening on a few of...

Gromit

Great thanks guys for the help, that worked well.

One question though, why cant I proxy any HTTPS sites? i know it uses a different port number but if I redirect the port to the proxy even if it is allowed it wont connect.

Any advice?

Gromit

we run a RD532 with RouterOS as a transparent proxy. Is it possible to block all proxying sites (i.e. proxify.com) using some sort of rule? Maybe in the "path" aspect of the rule add /proxy or any other common sting in proxying sites URLs?

Gromit

(Hope Normis reads this post)

Not to sure why but my post in the sugestions thread was deleted.

Gromit

I have posted a request in the user manager sugestion thread, please if you feel the values should be swopped, voice your support.

Gromit

Is it just me or are there others that think these values should be used the other way around? The uptime-limit should define the time frame to utilize ones credit-limit.

Please correct me if I am wrong

Gromit

Is it just me or are there others that think these values should be used the other way around? The uptime-limit should define the time frame to utilize ones credit-limit.

Gromit

Here is one for you.

/ tool user-manager user
add subscriber=admin name="abcde" password="fghij" rate-limit=" 48k/64k 0/0 \
0/0 0/0 7" uptime-limit=1h comment="" disabled=no

Great, but how do I limit the activity to 1 week?

Gromit

Please could you post the script to add the following:
Or how it would be done in user-manager

a user that needs to access the internet for 1 week, in that 1 week he has 1 hour of internet usage.

Pretty please

Gromit

So the uptime-limit is the time frame the user has to use his/her credit-limit ? For example have all credits last 1 week (credit time = 1w ) and have a different uptime-limit depending on the subscribers requirements? Could someone not please create a sticky thread that explains this as I see i am ...

Gromit

How many free accounts can we create? I need 5

Gromit

I had this problem too, untill i discovered http://www.changeip.com

This works just as well and you do not need a windows machine.

Check wiki and posts by user changeip for the scripts.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the help, but is this not the same service that dyndns.org offers?

Gromit

I am using the user manager and created a coupon for 15 minutes. When the user logs off (before using the whole 15 minutes) why is it that the counter continues to run resulting in his coupon expiring before he has used the full 15 minutes? Is there a setting that I can use that will stop the counte...

Gromit

add comment to rule, for example myRule.
After that you must use find to get correct internal number.
Code: Select all
/ip proxy access disable [ /ip proxy access find comment="myRule" ] ;

Thanks, works like a charm

Gromit

Ok so did a bit of searching and came up with this:

{ip proxy access}{print}{disable 8}

ok, so this will disable a specific (number 8 ) proxy rule.

only problem is, it works in the terminal but not if I use the script repository.

Please someone help!!

Gromit

We use ADSL connections at a few sites and would like to VPN using dyndns.org service. Is there a script (dns update tool?) that can do this?

Gromit

Ok, so I want to enable/disable a certain access rule using a script which I can run in the system scheduler. Can anyone tell me what the syntax will be?

Gromit

So when using RouterOS on a PC, its impossible to change the network cards drivers?

Sorry for the repetition, I just need clarification

Gromit

How do you upload the drivers for a network card when using RouterOS?

Gromit

Not to sure if this is possible. I would like to use a RB532 as a wireless AP connecting all workstations in a office forming a WLAN. When these workstations access the internet, I would like them to be directed to the hotspot login page for authentication but only for internet, their current connec...

If I am creating an address pool eg. 192.168.99.0/24 for use on the hotspot. Can I not just create a firewall input rule to drop all input packets from this range of IPs?

No one have an answer for me?

Gromit

If I am creating an address pool eg. 192.168.99.0/24 for use on the hotspot. Can I not just create a firewall input rule to drop all input packets from this range of IPs?

Gromit

there are many ways. changing the port, allowing chain "input" only to specific IPs, port knocking (there is a topic on this in the same section)

Please can you post a link to the thread

Gromit

Yip thats me Gromit on PCF SA

Will give it a bash, thanx

Gromit

I have set up a RB532 as a hotspot on the wireless interface, but would like to secure it. I don't want users of the hotspot to be able to access the routerboard via Winbox. How would I go about doing this? Would I create a NAT rule? (the eth1 interface will have a separate network that will make us...
