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.

Hello, do any specific domains need to be whitelisted for Marcs Updater to communicate with OpenDNS?

In short: no they don't.... /EDIT: To add a bit more info; the only hostname that Marcs Updater uses/contacts is "updater.marc-hoersken.de" (IP: 89.238.84.46) as I can see in the logfile of DNSKong (see for example here: http://accs-net.com/hosts/DNSK... on what this program does), my local DNS filtering/caching/blocking program. Hope this helps, Tadej from Slovenia

That's not entirely correct.
https://updates.opendns.com/ni... will also need to be available and therefore updates.opendns.com. ;-)

Yeah you're correct. :) I meant the only domain/IP beside OpenDNS's own "updates.opendns.com". :)
