I have a cheat sheet for creating a port forward on hAP ac2 routers. Problem: it required that I know the WAN IP address. Would someone please help me update these directinos for a floating WAN IP address? My attempts have all failed.
Many thanks,

MikroTik Port Forwarding (NAT) & Access from Internet
Reference(s):

WARNING: THE FOLLOWING REQUIRES A FIXED WAN ADDRESS!
Configure NAT in MikroTik:
1) Open the router with Winbox or directly with a browser
2) IP → Firewall → Select NAT tab → "+" sign (add) → General (tab)
3) A) Chain → dstnat
B) Dst. Address → your WAN (Public) IP
C) Protocol → tcp, udp, etc. Note 6(tcp) does not mean IPv6
D) Dst. Port → the port requested by your external client
4) a) Action → dst-nat
b) To Address → the IP of your internal server
c) To Ports → the open port on your internal server (not
necessarily the same as the clients requested port, but
typically the same)
5) click “OK”.
If using WinBox, Session (pull down, upper left) → Save
(or you lose everything and have to start over)
