How to Limit TikTok on MikroTik

To limit TikTok on a MikroTik router, you can use firewall rules to block access to TikTok's servers. Here are the steps to do it:

  1. Access the MikroTik Router: Connect to the MikroTik router's web interface or use the Winbox application to access the router's configuration.

  2. Identify TikTok's Servers: To block TikTok, you need to identify the IP addresses or domain names used by TikTok's servers. You can use network monitoring tools or online resources to find this information.

  3. Create an Address List: In the MikroTik router's web interface, go to the "IP" menu and select "Firewall". Then, click on the "Address Lists" tab and create a new address list. Add the IP addresses or domain names of TikTok's servers to this list.

  4. Create a Firewall Rule: In the "Firewall" menu, click on the "Filter Rules" tab and create a new rule. Set the "Chain" to "Forward" if you want to block TikTok for all devices on the network, or set it to "Input" if you want to block TikTok only for specific devices. Set the "Src. Address" to the IP address range or specific IP address of the devices you want to apply the rule to. In the "Action" field, select "Drop" to block the traffic. In the "Dst. Address List" field, select the address list you created in the previous step.

  5. Apply the Firewall Rule: Click on the "Apply" button to save and apply the firewall rule. The rule will now block access to TikTok's servers for the specified devices or network.

Please note that the effectiveness of this method may vary as TikTok's servers can change over time. It is recommended to regularly update the address list with the latest IP addresses or domain names associated with TikTok's servers.
