Dynamic DNS (DDNS) on MikroTik

If your Internet service provider (ISP) does not provide a static IP address, you can use Dynamic DNS (DDNS) to map a domain name to your dynamic IP address. MikroTik will take care of updating the DNS record when your public DNS is changed by your ISP.

Add DDNS configuration

  • open WinBox and connect to your MikroTik router
  • go to IP > Cloud
  • set DDNS Enabled to yes
  • press apply

Mikrotik will automatically generate a domain name for you in the format xxxx.mynetname.net, where xxxx is a unique identifier for your router. Cloud

Custom domain

If you have your own DNS name and you want to use it instead of mynetname.net domain provided by mikrotik you can set CNAME record in your DNS provider to point to xxxx.mynetname.net
