PPPoE question

[TheDevopsGuy]

Hi all,

So lately I've been having issues with point to point over ethernet on my Microtik router.

Everytime this disconnection and re-connection happens my public IP changes.

Is there an effective method to do port forwarding which changes with the public IP changes.

Just for the meantime because It's a bother changing the same firewall rule 5 times in a day until my ISP fixs the ADSL port outside.

Thanks and Regards,

MattS

Maybe take the dst-address out of the rule. Like this example. I have not tested this though. https://www.balticnetworkstraining.com/mikrotik-port-forwarding/

Looks like that didn't trigger anything I'll check on next disconnection if it solves the issue.

Thanks mate

Take a look at this

Need to Get to Your Computer Remotely? Use a DDNS Service

DDNS (dynamic DNS) is a service that maps internet domain names to IP addresses. DDNS serves a similar, but not quite the same, purpose as DNS.

create a DNS name and then map it to your existing IP -- DDNS will do the rest

changing the same firewall rule

The trick is to NOT use the raw IP address itself in the rule.

Instead, use the logical name "local subnet"
On the Windows FW, pick the rule you desire, click on the SCOPE tab, then the radio button (*) these IP addresses and enter "local subnet"

The rule will follow whatever IP is Local
