https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:IP/Cloud#Advanced

use-local-address (yes | no; Default: no)
By default, the DNS name will be assigned to the detected public address (from the UDP packet header). If you wish to send your "local" or "internal" IP address, then set this to yes

If your router is behind another router, enabling this checkbox will update the ddns entry with its local address (e.g. 192.168.1.x).

Enabling IP Cloud will not automatically allow access to the device. It is just a free ddns service provided by MikroTik along with time sync and a backup slot.

You can find the exact specifications in the wiki, https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:IP/Cloud

Only a few day a member was connecting through a VPN and with this he could still supply his external address to Mikrotik cloud.

@msatter

that is fine, you don't need "use-local-address" to be able to do this

Do you feel any urge to elaborate on that?
