It works, Thanks!

Thanx

Thanks for the script - works well. But I've noticed that the log always shows updated succeeded, even if my IP didn't change since the previous update.

Hi, I can't get this to run on version v.6.49.4

Interesting - I have it working on v6.49.5, except it always reports the IP as changed, even when it it's the same.

Did you update the targetInterface, username, password, and hostname?

It's not working with 7.x
any fix?

not working for me on 6.49.8

Still working for me, running firmware arm64-7.14.3 on an RB5009.
Also running it on an older RB2011 and an older RB951 with firmware mipsbe-6.49.14; working fine.

The script still always reports the IP was updated because it was changed, even when it hasn't changed... But it does actually update when the IP does change, and that's all that matters.

Beware that certain special characters in your NO-IP username/password may not work on a 'tik without first escaping ( \ ) them in pre-7.0 firmware. #https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Scripting#Constant_Escape_Sequences
