ddns-enabled (yes | no)

If set to "yes" then router will send an encrypted message to the MikroTik cloud server. Server will then decrypt the message and verify that sender is an authentic Mikrotik router. If all is OK then server will create a DDNS record for this router and send response to the router. Every minute the cloud service on the router will check if external IP address matches the one sent to server and will send encrypted update to cloud server if IP address changes.

The warning above is always present and it is self-explanatory. If I may suggest something: remove this warning when /ip cloud advanced use-local-address=no as it is redundant when local mode is disabled.

but your local IP was 192.168.0.10

The warning

but your local IP was 192.168.0.10

indicates your router isn't obtaining a route-able internet address on it's WAN port. i.e. You router is behind another router with the WAN address of 188.2.xx.xx .

jebz, oh, that's right, I forgot about my local network configuration. 192.168.0.10 is indeed assigned to my router by upstream DHCP on the cable modem, that holds actual WAN address. I will edit original question to remove suggestion about the warning.

Anyhow, my question still stands. Any ideas as to why Cloud isn't auto-updating as advertised?

Because the WAN address of your router isn't changing. It's staying the same, 192.168.0.10 .

Reconfigure your cable modem to do WAN bypass and operate as a modem only not a combination modem/router.

I am not sure that is how it is supposed to work. Besides, that's what use-local-address option is for, right? Let me quote the documentation again:

Well yes, "ip cloud" offers basic features. Currently it does not offer more advanced stuff like custom names, detection of gateway IP changes etc.

I am maybe boring with this,but I have to say it again. Use normal dynamic dns service and appropriate script that will handle that.

Hi,

I ran in the same Problem. I found out that it is much simpler to update through /ip cloud than other DDNS providers.
I posted this Script yesterday. It should do the trick:

This is most certainly not meant that way.

Your actual router must have the external IP. It will not detect changes on your gateways IP and we have no plans for such functionality.

You can send your LAN IP if you want, via the "use-local-address" option if you want, but detection still applies only to the address of the router.

Hi

Please assist me with a script for No-IP portal. am currently on Version 6.39.2 (mipsbe)

Thanks
