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,
Since a week or two Marcs Updater isn't working any more on either Win7 x64 and Win 10.
Doesn't update at all with DynDNS... Very strange... Is this due to a Windows update? :-(

Hi Marc,
I installed the latest beta version some time ago, but as I already experienced in the previous versions, after some time, the password that was once saved, doesn't seem to be kept right and changes randomly after some random period of time. It's like the password in Marc's Updater is changed somehow, and I have to re-enter it to make it work again. The result of this bug is 'badauth'.
Problem is recurrent and exists either with DynDNS (Oracle), OVH.com and also No-IP. This is a bug that is there for already 3 years at least. I don't know what triggers it...
Can you check into that?
PS: Image upload doesn't work.
