Mikrotik Dynamic DNS Update Script for No-IP DNS

This script was designed to utilize the No-IP Update API which offers direct access to No-IP's DNS update system.

This script is based on the Dynamic DNS Update Script for DNSoMatic.com.

Tested to work on RouterOS 5.13.


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
