How to make a redirect to a specific site, from unwanted ones?

Question

Mikrotik

There is a pool of locked social networks, VK, YouTube, etc. Is it possible to redirect to the company's website when trying to access these sites? Now it just shows a DNS error, actually. The firewall rule works, but the possibility of redirecting to a specific site is of interest. Let's say a user wants to go to VK, tries to get on vk.com and redirects him to Google (for example). In order to avoid calls saying "Internet is not working"

Answer 1

You make a rule in
this chain = dst
protocol = 6
source-addr-list = list of addresses of users you want to send
dst-aadr-list = addresses of your unwanted
actions = d-nat
to-addr = target resource (in the latest version of ROS, according to idea, you can specify the domain directly)
this is the minimum set of arguments for the REDIRECT rule .
but in fact, you can also replace the DNS, you can send the name to the target address - but this is not Feng Shui if you have hell and other perversions (I didn’t like this solution)

Answer 2

Deploy your dns server and instead of real ip addresses of unwanted domains, return the ip address of a stub with a warning (or Google or your site).
Here is a ready-made instruction on how to easily do this in mikrotik.
