To create a dynamic DNS record on a Mikrotik router / CPE you must:

- Connect with Winbox or your browser to the IP of your router/CPE which is by default: http://192.168.88.1/

- Go to IP -> Cloud

- Check the “DDNS Enabled” box

- Validate with "Apply".

- Copy the “DNS Name” which will appear after a few moments. (example: 422a04961b7c.sn.mynetname.net)

- Connect to your hosting administration panel. (example: https://vps123.be.cloudvip.net:8080/)

- Go to the “DNS” section

- Select the domain name you want (example "mysociete.com")

- Create a CNAME record. (in the list of green buttons)

- In "Host name" enter for example "office". (this will become "office.masociete.com")

- In "Target Host Name" enter the "DNS Name" created by Mikrotik. (example: 422a04961b7c.sn.mynetname.net.) remembering to end the line with a DOT (.) otherwise the target will be "422a04961b7c.sn.mynetname.net.masociete.com" and it will not work.

- Finish by pressing "Save".

Your office.masociete.com domain name will point to your dynamic IP within 2 minutes!
