Marcs Updater
There have been some reports about issues with the Updater not updating anymore. Please try the latest beta version and switch to another IP Check provider instead of the previous default dnsomatic.com. For some reason they are rate-limiting the number of requests to their service. The new IP Check provider selection allows you to choose another provider in such cases. You can test the functionality with the new "Test" panel.
If you want to add a custom provider to the unstable testing version, store a JSON file like the following under %PROGRAMDATA%\Marcs Updater\ServiceProviders\dyndns.json:
{
"name": "DynDNS.org (Test)",
"endpoint": "https://members.dyndns.org/nic/update",
"method": "GET",
"queryString": "hostname={HOSTNAME}&myip={MYIP}",
"dataPayload": "",
"defaults": {
"username": "test",
"password": "test",
"hostname": "test1.customtest.dyndns.org"
}
}Supported query and payload tags are {USERNAME}, {PASSWORD}, {HOSTNAME} and {MYIP}. Restart the background service and foreground application to apply any changes.

I have one question: where does Marcs Updater now store the "IP Updates" history? If I recall correctly, it was stored in a "updates.log" file under program's installation directory (e.g. "C:\Program Files\Marcs Updater\") in older versions, but now I can't find it anymore (I also looked under "...\User\Application Data\, ...\User\Local Settings\Application Data\ etc. directories). Thanks in advance, Tadej

Currently it stores the log in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Marcs Updater\Service\Log. Quite inefficient, I know.

Thanks much for the quick reply! At least now I know how to delete all the entries (because in all this time quite a few have accumulated).

Oh and yeah, it is save to just delete the Log key (and not just entries/values manually one after another), of course, possibly when service is not running? I mean, the service will create the mentioned key on next launch, right? :)
