please help me how to block youtube..

There are some basic methods and some advanced...

If you are running proxy, and forcing http: thru it, then just add it to the access list with an action of deny.

I use the following methods...
1) Force all http traffoc thru a proxy.
2) Force DNS lookups to the DNS proxy.
3) Use OpenDNS forname resolution, and specify youtube as "banned".
4) Place a redirrect rule in the proxy settings to something like "get a life.com" (*.youtube.*)

This will block youtube by name but not by IP...
I would like to use address lists here, but havent had the time to figure it out yet..

IE a script or import routine that mailtained an address list for "banned" sites and then add a single entry to the proxy to look for items "on the list" and take action..

A "reverse" dns lookup would be handy...

IE: look at the URL, deturman that an address in contained, then look the addredd up and obtain the domain, if one is found, check it against the access list.. if not on a banned list, allow it, if banned then drop or re-dirrect..

For 80% , the baisic steps above will take care of the issue...
If the re-dirrect page states that youtube is not allowed, or that its use is controlled, then you can allways look at activity after the fact and address it with the user...

Some places frown on "blocking" access to sites.... but I dont belive there is a rule that says thay tou cant make it PAINFULLY slow.... that makes it "accessable" but un useable...

just an idea..

yes i want running proxy use CF disk...and how to setting the proxy use CF... can u teach me...

hey dude try this im doing this to my box and its working

;;; youtube block
chain=forward action=drop src-address=74.125.15.0/24

correct me if im wrong

you can read from this web http://mikrotik.unimedcenter.org/mikrotik-firewall

If you want to filter by IP addresses, use this address-list it filters most of the WEB Video, Youtube, Redtube, Youporn, Dailymotion etc ...

/ip firewall address-list
add address=208.117.224.0/24 comment="" disabled=no list=Youtube
add address=208.117.225.0/24 comment="" disabled=no list=Youtube

thank you so much.. i just miss up the rule for the filter .. thank you.. i got it now

Not a good idea !

1. IP may be changed anytime
2. You want to block Youtube video only but not whole Youtube site. You should browse Youtube but you shouldn't stream video.
3. If you block IP then you can't browse some other hosted sites too.Like youtube is owned by Google.If you block whole youtube IP it means you are blocking Google too.

The best way as I've seen is to user Layer 7 protocol to stop video streaming.I'm also looking for the perfect REGEXP of Layer 7 that matches and works.I hope this will solve the problem.

Best Regards,
Rigan.
