    Dynamic DNS Update Script for No-IP DNS (MikroTik Router OS)


    To update the DNS IP to NO-IP DNS, follows the following step:
    1. Create a new script named no-ip_ddns_update
    The following permissions are required for this script to run:

    • write
    • test
    • read

    2. Paste the source code that appears below. Edit the user, password, hostname and interface info to match your setup.

    # No-IP automatic Dynamic DNS update
    #--------------- Change Values in this section to match your setup ------------------
    # No-IP User account info
    :local noipuser "your_no-ip_user"
    :local noippass "your_no-ip_pass"
    # Set the hostname or label of network to be updated.
    # Hostnames with spaces are unsupported. Replace the value in the quotations below with your host names.
    # To specify multiple hosts, separate them with commas.
    :local noiphost "hostname.no-ip.net"
    # Change to the name of interface that gets the dynamic IP address
    :local inetinterface "your_external_interface"
    #------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    # No more changes need
    :global previousIP
    :if ([/interface get $inetinterface value-name=running]) do={
    # Get the current IP on the interface
       :local currentIP [/ip address get [find interface="$inetinterface" disabled=no] address]
    # Strip the net mask off the IP address
       :for i from=( [:len $currentIP] - 1) to=0 do={
           :if ( [:pick $currentIP $i] = "/") do={
               :set currentIP [:pick $currentIP 0 $i]
           }
       }
       :if ($currentIP != $previousIP) do={
           :log info "No-IP: Current IP $currentIP is not equal to previous IP, update needed"
           :set previousIP $currentIP
    # The update URL. Note the "\3F" is hex for question mark (?). Required since ? is a special character in commands.
           :local url "http://dynupdate.no-ip.com/nic/update\3Fmyip=$currentIP"
           :local noiphostarray
           :set noiphostarray [:toarray $noiphost]
           :foreach host in=$noiphostarray do={
               :log info "No-IP: Sending update for $host"
               /tool fetch url=($url . "&hostname=$host") user=$noipuser password=$noippass mode=http dst-path=("no-ip_ddns_update-" . $host . ".txt")
               :log info "No-IP: Host $host updated on No-IP with IP $currentIP"
           }
       }  else={
           :log info "No-IP: Previous IP $previousIP is equal to current IP, no update needed"
       }
    } else={
       :log info "No-IP: $inetinterface is not currently running, so therefore will not update."
    }
    

    3. Create a new scheduler entry to run this script every 5 mins.

    /system scheduler add comment="Update No-IP DDNS" disabled=no interval=5m \
    name=no-ip_ddns_update on-event=no-ip_ddns_update policy=read,write,test
    

    Alternative script.

    Alternative script uses DNS Resolve and is based on an documentation http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Scripting-examples and documentation No-IP DNS Update API http://www.no-ip.com/integrate/request
    Can be modified for use with other Dynamic DNS services supported ReST API.

    ##############Script Settings##################
    :local NOIPUser "no-ip.com LOGIN"
    :local NOIPPass "no-ip.com PASSWORD"
    :local WANInter "MikroTik Router WAN Interface Name"
    ###############################################
    :local NOIPDomain "$NOIPUser.no-ip.org"
    :local IpCurrent [/ip address get [find interface=$WANInter] address];
    :for i from=( [:len $IpCurrent] - 1) to=0 do={
      :if ( [:pick $IpCurrent $i] = "/") do={
        :local NewIP [:pick $IpCurrent 0 $i];
        :if ([:resolve $NOIPDomain] != $NewIP) do={
          /tool fetch mode=http user=$NOIPUser password=$NOIPPass url="http://dynupdate.no-ip.com/nic/update\3Fhostname=$NOIPDomain&myip=$NewIP" keep-result=no
          :log info "NO-IP Update: $NOIPDomain - $NewIP"
         }
       }
    }
    

    Note:
    :local NOIPDomain “$NOIPUser.no-ip.org – True if the username is the third level domain and is registered in the domain *. no-ip.org(example: username=testuser1 and domain=testuser1.no-ip.org). In another case, the string to be changed.
    The symbol “\3F” is used to replace the shielded symbol “?” in the URL.
    Tested to work on RouterOS 5.21.
    Sample configuration:

    ##############Script Settings##################
    :local NOIPUser "testuser1"
    :local NOIPPass "testpassword"
    :local WANInter "ether1"
    ###############################################
    

    If you use another WAN-interface, use it(example: pppoe-out1, pptp-out1, l2tp-out1).
