No-IP Updater Scripting

RouterOS Scripting
1

I have No-IP domine subscription and I have static IP address I would like to run script on Mikrotik RB5009 v7.12 to update No-IP
with regards

If you have static IP just update using request like is explained here.

Using ROS fetch tool:

/tool fetch url="https://dynupdate.no-ip.com/nic/update?myip=<YOUR_IP>&hostname=<YOUR_NO_IP_HOST>" user=<USERNAME> password=<PASSWORD>

Example of noip script without global variables (simpler).


# Data to be modified
:local  noipuser "username"
:local  noippass "MyStr0ngPassWoRd!"
:local  noiphost "mydomain.sytes.net"

# From now on, do not modify
:local  cIP [/ip cloud get public-address]

:if ([:resolve $noiphost] != $cIP) do={
    # Important, has been replaced "?" with "\3F" to avoid problems.  
    /tool fetch url="http://$noipuser:$noippass@dynupdate.no-ip.com/nic/update\3Fhostname=$noiphost&myip=$cIP" keep-result=no
    :log info "NO-IP: $noiphost -> IP updated: $cIP"
} else={
    :log info "No-IP: No update needed. Current: $cIP"
}

Create a Scheduler task and run it a couple of times a day or every x time (according to your needs).

This worked perfectly for me on RouterOS 7.x Thank you. This is so simple and exactly what I needed!

hi,

Just an update on this older post: the script failed on MikroTik v7.19.1.
I managed to get it work and have tested it on multiple MikroTik sites based on the guide below.

First, you need 3 information from No-IP (EXAMPLE information)

Username - user@mikrotik.com
Password - mikrotik
Hostname - mikrotik.ddns.net

Go to the Base64 Encode site ie - https://www.base64encode.org
Paste the information as below - which is username:password

user@mikrotik.com:mikrotik

After encode, the result as below

dXNlckBtaWtyb3Rpay5jb206bWlrcm90aWs=

Now paste the information as below - Hostname and Base64

/tool fetch url="https://dynupdate.no-ip.com/nic/update?hostname=mikrotik.ddns.net" \
    http-header-field="Authorization: Basic dXNlckBtaWtyb3Rpay5jb206bWlrcm90aWs=" \
    keep-result=no

Final task, set a schedule in every 30 minutes or your preferred interval

No need for manually building the authentication header, /tool fetch has the parameters user= and password= that you can use to directly pass the login info.

I have version 7.19.1 and I try this script but it doesn’t work at all.
In the log I see this
mklog
I can’t find a working script to update my IP address on noip.com.

The solution from @devilization is correct and works.
@CGGXANNX In some cases, it is necessary to use an authentication header.
If the password contains special characters (e.g. $@ etc.), it must be encoded using base64.
It was quite a hassle for me, but now it works.
