How to Block Facebook on MikroTik

If your broadband network operates through a MiktroTik router, then you can block your children and others in your household from accessing Facebook. To do this, you must have WinBox, a console application that allows you to fine-tune all your MikroTik router settings. With it, you can log directly into your router via your computer and then submit specific terminal commands to block any and all Facebook Internet content.
