- Checks for outgoing IP address change: every 60 seconds
- Waits for the MikroTik's Cloud server's response: 15 seconds
- DDNS record TTL: 60 seconds
- Sends encrypted packets to cloud.mikrotik.com or cloud2.mikrotik.com using UDP/15252 port
Since RouterOS v6.43 if your device is able to reach cloud2.mikrotik.com using IPv6, then a DNS AAAA record is going to be created for your public IPv6 address. If your device is only able to reach cloud2.mikrotik.com using IPv4, then only a DNS A record is going to be created for your public IPv4 address. cloud.mikrotik.com is used for older RouterOS versions prior 6.44
To enable the DDNS service:
...
- Approximate time (accuracy of several seconds, depends on UDP packet latency)
- Updates time after a reboot and during every DDNS update (when router's WAN IP address changes or after the force-update command is used)
- Sends encrypted packets to cloud.mikrotik.com or cloud2.mikrotik.com using UDP/15252 port
- Detects time-zone depending on the router's public IP address and our commercial database
