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! Where's the configuration located? I'm trying to remove the hostname and leave it blank, but the change won't stay unless I use a different hostname. Leaving it empty does not stay.

Hello, please try the version 1.5.3.304 which I just released. It should allow you to specify an empty hostname. Best regards, Marc
