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.

Hi, i have a large vpn with dinamic ip's, this weekend the updaters keep the old ip instead of the new so the vpn was down until i manually connected to each computer and installed another updater. My question is if something happened that prevented that none of the updaters worked properly. Sorry for my english

Last week I moved this site to another server and IP address, but actually that shouldn't cause any trouble, because the update checks against this site are done in seperate threads/processes. I don't see any reason on this end.
Maybe there was a problem in your network or at the dynamic DNS provider?

I don't know..I use it to update accounts of opendns and dyndns. The strange thing is that was all of the updaters that went down, and when i installed the dyndns updater it took the ip fine.
