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 Marc,
I still have the old updater installed, and the password isn't encrypted, if I install the latest version over the top, will it automatically update all the files and encrypt the password, or will there be leftover reg settings/files....?
Thanks!

Hi ta, just install the new version while the old one is still installed. It will automatically convert the registry settings and remove the old and unencrypted entries.

Thanks marc.
Just another thing. I noticed under wireless filtering, it has my wifi ssid, but also, after installing the update ( I'm assuming, as I don't remember it being there before) there is now a weird entry also. Like characters/symbols as another entry. Is this normal, does it have something to do with encryption of something else?

That's probably a bug introduced by the conversion. Did you try to remove the entry? Could you post a screenshot?

no I didn't remove the entry, thought maybe it should be there for some reason.

Hi Marc,
have you had a chance to look at the ss?
Should I delete the entry, or is it nothing to worry about?
thanks.

Hi ta, yes, I took a look at the screenshot, but I have no clue on how that happened. Just delete it. Do you have any non-Unicode characters in your wireless network SSID?

Not sure what you mean, the first entry in the screenshot, is my ssid. After the update, the second entry appeared.
OK, I'll just delete it then, and see what happens.
Thanks again.
