I'd be interested in that also. Our DSL at home drops out every 15-20 minutes, when we pull traffic through it, so I run PPTP sessions over the DSL, AND over a 4G dongle back to SYD3, then run OSPF/MPLS/VPLS over the top with a 2 second timeout on the OSPF on the DSL PPTP session. Works well, but we chew through quite a bit of 4g data, so I ended up adding firewall rules so NFS traffic (how torrents come home) can't flow over the tunnel when coming over the 4G. Wouldn't mind also blocking Apple/MS/etc over there as well. I do outbound rate limit based on prefixes advertised from Apple's AS, to limit how badly our iDevices kill the internet at night when they're plugged in, but would be interested in what others are doing :) On 1 August 2015 at 18:35, Daniel Hoffman <daniel@hoff.id.au> wrote:
I have just had to put a hap lite in to be a client to a Vodafone 4g wifi modem and bring that connection back into my network via Ethernet.
All works really well but wondering if anyone has any experience with firewall rulesets and or application filtering to block big data use such as MS/Apple updates, apple iCloud backups etc etc.
I've been thinking about just some big IP range drops for the big companies such as Apple and MS and AWS but thought maybe there is a better way.
Anyone. _______________________________________________ Public mailing list Public@talk.mikrotik.com.au http://talk.mikrotik.com.au/mailman/listinfo/public_talk.mikrotik.com.au
