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.

Released version 1.5.2.294
- Fixed stack corruption in network state detection

I finally found the reason for the service crashing in rare cases during network state changes. I was investigating this bug since months and would like to ask you to update as soon as possible and test the new version.

Thanks and sorry for the trouble!

How can there be no instructions on what the hostname is and so many people be using this software? WHAT is the hostname?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was recommended this by a post at opendns.com. But NO WHERE does it say what is the hostname. I've tried putting localhost, my router's default IP, opendns.com... nothing is accepted.

Need to publish a VPN address instead of my ISP's IP.  I suspect I need to use the Local Netwrok filtering options.  Where can I find instructions to do that ?  Thanks.
