He is very good and teach well . Thanks for giving us insight to new update from Mikrotik. I have implemented this in my office setup .

I use to use openDNS alonge with dstnat . But this is a beautiful solution. It seems open DNS is no longer free .

Thanks once more and thanks Mikrotik .

Sir what if I am using Adguard on container, is the adlist better to use instead of Adguard ?

[vitaliypro]

what if i want to whitelist all google related ads? When im shopping for something this adlist will prevent all sponsored google links from openning

I'm using a .txt file and increase a cache value to 20kib; After sometime the .txt file size descreased to 0 kb and the adlist function stop to work. This happends to me using a rb750gr3 and hap ac2. Did you have problems like that? Thanks for the video, maybe using like yout video using SSL and the url is more reliable.

i was worried that fetching list from url will store it first on flash and wear it out, but it seems not to be the case, can you confirm?

Mr. Almazan, Could you please make a video on mangling in MikroTik? I'm particularly interested in the "ip/firewall/mangle/add action=set-priority" option. I came across it a few hours ago and would like to learn more about it from a professional ))
