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.

Sorry, had to rollback the just released version. It currently has a bug that prevents future updates. Will be put back up soon.

Hi Marc....
Thanks a ton for this application.....Surely the best....
Just one question (though might sound silly at your level of expertise)....
Once i have installed and configured (it updated the Open DNS perfectly) the updater. Would i require the program to be launched everytime window starts....The service would automatically start and would be updating (presumming this)...
I am asking this becuase i am using Server 2008 hence it is not allowing the auto run of applications at startup hence the updater is required to be started by me everyday manually through admin login.

Hello Marc,
Is it possible to configure the Updater once (it could be through registries), and then let it run as a service without showing it in the system tray)?
Please advice.
