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,
I have one static IP and another dynamic IP going to same computer (both are in same network on a dual wan router).
I would like to update OpenDNS when dynamic IP changed from same computer. My question is, how can I bind Updater to just dynamic IP alone?

Marc, is it possible to have your app update multiple DNC-O-Matic profiles? It asks for a hostname; in DNS-O-Matic, I have two external DNS services... How do I get it to update both?
Thanks! Works great, otherwise!

How do I enter more than one host? For example, if I do have dyndns and openDNS? Or two dyndns hosts?

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)
