is this my configure correct ?

add chain=forward src-address=208.65.153.251/24 action=drop
add chain=forward dst-address=208.65.153.251/24 action=drop

you should use /32 if you need one specific IP and not a subnet

mikuni · Tue Mar 13, 2007 10:38 am

oh my god so i have to change /24 to /32 ?

mikuni · Tue Mar 13, 2007 10:46 am

when i use this the youtube is blocking

add chain=forward src-address=208.65.153.251/24 action=drop
add chain=forward dst-address=208.65.153.251/24 action=drop

but when i use this, it isnt blocking

add chain=forward src-address=208.65.153.251/32 action=drop
add chain=forward dst-address=208.65.153.251/32 action=drop

large websites usually have more than one IP address, please get full list you have to drop.

it seems that with /24 you are blocking all of their ip addresses, and some more, so, to be more precise use some tools to get ip addresses of youtube

C:\Users\Normunds>nslookup youtube.com

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    youtube.com
Addresses:  208.65.153.253, 208.65.153.251

mikuni · Tue Mar 13, 2007 10:53 am

but when i use this

add chain=forward src-address=208.65.153.251/24 action=drop
add chain=forward dst-address=208.65.153.251/24 action=drop

it really blocking my IE to browse youtube..

so have i to reconfigure again ?

is this the right scripts ?

by the way,normis what program u use to know the ip of youtube ?

janisk · Tue Mar 13, 2007 10:54 am

ahh normis you again indulge to our fellow members

see above, you have to block more than one IP.

also you can use webproxy to deny access to the youtube website. configure an access list if you use webproxy, here are a few ideas (they talk about caching, but access list rules are very similar)

i got problem here, how can i find my list of network belonging my ISP ?

Tue Mar 13, 2007 11:26 am

ask your ISP ...

mikuni · Tue Mar 13, 2007 11:30 am

OMG

hehehe....is there any solution for finding my ISP list network?

LOL

Tue Mar 13, 2007 11:32 am

this list is usually public, you should ask local regulators. in baltics we have the NIC, in your country there should be a similar organization. look for the organization/government division which hands out IP spaces.

Make it easier for yourself and don't block each individual IP address -- block the subnet

eg. to block youtube put the block on 208.65.153.0/24 or 208.65.0.0/16 or 208.0.0.0/8 (although I don't recommend blocking with /8 as you will be blocking a lot of IP addresses)

mikuni · Thu Mar 15, 2007 4:37 am

well i already blocking the subnet like this

208.65.153.0/24

and it work fine...

hmm...can i ask another question...
well as we know youtube is a website that buffering data(video clip) from their server...

so that i want to ask is can we limit it buffering bandwith with winbox...
i mean only limiting buffering on youtube...? not block it

Thu Mar 15, 2007 9:04 am

make a queue for this subnet

mikuni · Fri Mar 16, 2007 3:08 pm

just making a queue ? are u sure about that ?

well i just to try it first...later i will tell u the result...

mikuni · Fri Mar 16, 2007 3:21 pm

i already this but there is no bandwith flowing here...am i doing wrong?

normis can u give an example...and i dont use web-proxy...

queue simple> add name=YouTube target-addresses=208.65.153.0/
32 interface=ether1

Fri Mar 16, 2007 3:23 pm

subnet is wrong, use somthing like /24

mikuni · Fri Mar 16, 2007 4:20 pm

but i dont see any connection in my queue...even i use /24

can u just give me example

the ip of youtube = 208.65.153.251

please help me ok...i really hate youtube when sucking my all bandwith when buffering the video clip..

try this on unix machine :
>host youtube.com
youtube.com has address 208.65.153.251
youtube.com has address 208.65.153.253
youtube.com mail is handled by 10 sjl-mbox1.sjl.youtube.com

and then try this in MT :
/ip firewall filter
add chain=forward dst-address=208.65.153.251/32 action=drop comment="" disabled=no
add chain=forward dst-address=208.65.153.253/32 action=drop comment="" disabled=no

no need to add chain with src-address

hope this help

tgrand · Mon Apr 16, 2007 1:45 pm

/ip firewall filter
add chain=forward dst-address=208.65.153.248/29 action=drop comment="" disabled=no

Should cover all youtube addresses.
