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 was wondering how come OpenDNS keeps saying ,,Waiting for first update'' in DNS-O-Matic?
(I use your latest "Marcs Updater" and your client doesn't show any errors)

OR is this just because there is no need to update because the ip didn't change?

Did you set the correct hostname, e.g. all.dnsomatic.com for all your
DNS-O-Matic services, or your OpenDNS network label? Or your IP address
actually didn't change. You should be able to force an update by opening the Updater GUI and clicking "OK".
