Mikrotik adblock script

I’ve been using a script to block ads directly form my Mikrotik router, but unfortunately the domain used by the script has expired, so I decided to generate the list myself.

I’m using the php code form here: https://github.com/tarampampam/mikrotik-hosts-parser/

First of all note that this script will use about 50 mb of ram.

Edit: This script works only for devices with at least 128 mb ram, for devices with 64 mb like RB751G-2HnD you can use the lite version with approximately 3000 entries from here. 

To setup ad blocking follow these steps:

• Set the router as a DNS server:

• force the DNS request to be directed to the router:

/ip firewall nat
 add action=redirect chain=dstnat dst-port=53 in-interface=bridge protocol=udp

• Add the script to import the satic DNS list and the scheduler to update the list one a day:

/system script
 add name=adblock policy=\
 ftp,reboot,read,write,policy,test,password,sniff,sensitive,romon source=":\

 \n\

 \n:local hostScriptUrl \"https://micu.eu/adblock/adblock.php\";\
