We are getting rid of static addresses on the WAN side of our routers and switching to Dynamic with DDNS. We use MTs cloud one and we have a backup one of our own. That is working fine, but we have an issue with updating the mant DSTNAT entries we have if the IP changes.
I found a suggestion someplace, possibly here, that had the following, My question is: Is the last line correct? I don't see how the router can know that the WAN IP has changed and update the address list. What is missing here?
Go to Firewall -> address lists and Create a new rule...
Give a name of your choice and at the address field fill your dyndns address... A dynamic rule will be created...
After that on your dst nat rule, delete the dst address and instead go to advanced tab (really General tab?) and at the dst-address-list select the list you created in the previous step...
When the address changes the address list will be updated...
