This is a No-ip support page. How does one overcome the problem in Mikrotik?
In my case, I can not see my IP camera, but others can.
Are you trying to access that URL from inside your network? If so, its a NAT loopback issue.
How is your internet provided, ADSL, Wireless etc?
Yes, it is a NAT loopback issue. I am using ADSL, dynamic IP, thats why I need No-ip.
I’m interested on this issue, too. Is there some patch on the way - except of the pinhole NAT?
No, I do not believe there will be a patch, as it is not nessesary and not a ‘mistake’ in Mikrotik. It is just that us ‘newbies’ must get our rules right. I got an answer from support, but did not study it yet so that I understand how to implement. I will probably come ask here again. 
Sounds like you need to setup hairpin NAT if I understand the problem correctly.

Thanks for the ‘hairpin’ link. Always saw it and did not have a clue what it meant! hehe.
OK, but if I understand it correctly, I will get a false sense of speed, as the data does not really go through the Internet as an outside user will experience it. The server does not upload the data to the net, (which is at something like 0.4Mbps upload and 2.4Mbps download and 53ms latency on my 4Mbps line) but take this shortcut hairpin to deliver the data straight to my PC, which will make it seem super fast. Is that correct?
I would ideally want to experience what the outside user with a similar data connection would experience. Is that possible, ie to force the data through all the hobs and servers and come back to me, as if the server is out there somewhere on the Net?
It’s not going to have the same amount of hops. If you resolve an address on your router that will be your first and only hop. There is no sense to send the traffic to the next hop if it is already where it needs to go.
To do what you are trying to achieve you could VPN to an outside network and come back to your server that way.
Ok, that makes sense. problem is, I do not know how to VPN and do not have a server to do it to. Is there servers out there that allow things like that?
There are VPN services available. Just google around to find one.
Just curious, but wouldn’t it be easier to just go use someone else’s internet to check the performance?
Or just stick yourself in a queue with the same bandwidth settings as your ISP connection.
Thanks guys and no, do not want to bug someone everytime I want to test.
