How to access my MikroTik anywhere using mynetname

Hello Please can anyone help me on how to access my router anywhere from the internet.

I anable DDns from cloud, I got a DNS name, but when I go to the link it redirected to my router, ROS saying Router behind a NAT remote access might not work.

This issue is the DNS name on my cloud is redirecting me to my Internet Router instead of my Mikrotik Webfig, I assigned port 80 to winbox and allow it from the firewall.

but the link is not accessible outside the network.

Please Help

Ok… before answering your actual question; please don’t open up your network for outside access like that!

It would be a much more secure option to run a VPN service to your home network. By using a service like ZeroTier for instance.
This will let you access your home network securely and let you easily connect to WinBox or anything else running in your home network.

If you want to learn more about how to set that up, MikroTik have a pretty straightforward instruction video on that:

And now, your problem:
You should set the WinBox port back to the default port 8291, because I suspect that trying to access the port 80 on the WAN access doesn’t get sent through correctly on your first router.
The firewall filters you disabled, probably the default rules to drop all outside traffic, shouldn’t need to be disabled in that case either.
(In your case with two routers, you might want to set up your network differently in the first place. Because you’re probably nesting networks which makes it very hard to communicate between those networks.)

Or use a NAT rule to translate it from an internet accessible port to the WinBox default would be an even better option. If you’re opening up to the outside, then using a random port would be a lot more secure than using port 80 (which will get prodded for outside access).
