Check for Updates - searching for Endpoint and FQDN for Firewall usage

Fri Feb 03, 2023 3:24 pm

Hello dear community,

I am trying to lock down MikroTik Firewall as much as possible, therefore I am restricting the Router Firewall's Output chain as well. I have allowed DNS and NTP and now want to allow the manual Updates via "Check for Updates" as well. Can anyone well me what FQDN will be resolved by RouterOS via DNS and then be used to query the Server for RouterOS upgrades?

Is this also behind https://mikrotik.com/download ? hence only mikrotik.com, or some other FQDN?

Consider an output allow with logging on WAN interface firewall rule then do an update check; a bit messy to parse but possible immediately.
