Marcs Updater - Discussions

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.

We have a failover in place on our router and recently we've been having issues with marcs updater constantly changing the IP back and forth between our primary IP and our secondary failover IP. We use marcs updater because we have a ton of problems with sonicwall's DDNS updater and I'm hoping this doesn't mean we will need to switch back. Any ideas? I was in our server earlier and Marcs Updater changed the IP about 5 times in the course of a minute.

Is possible to add Internet.bs DDNS service ( http://www.internetbs.net ) ?

https://dyndns.topdns.com/update?hostname=

it is possible to use wget to update the ip. Here is a sample url:

AutoIP
https://dyndns.topdns.com/update?hostname=mydomain.tld&username=myusername&password=mypassword

Personalized IP
https://dyndns.topdns.com/update?hostname=mydomain.tld&username=myusername&password=mypassword&myip=1.2.3.4

To put ddns offline
https://dyndns.topdns.com/update?hostname=mydomain.tld&username=myusername&password=mypassword&offline=yes

Note both URLs i gave you are using https but you can also use http however, for security reasons, we
recommend using https.
thanks

I've finally found time to use this great app but I found a downside compared to the opendns updater:

It doesn't update when network is connected but only after the update interval. This means that certain actions that I'm trying to prevent won't be blocked at all because if dns resolving is already done, the addresses will be accessible.

Dns Update action for blocking should be done before the applications connect to the internet.

Are you going to make it updating at the time it is connected to a network?

Is there a command to update manually earlier than time interval? I'm thinking to create a scheduled task to do it for now and something like this:

Hello

I'm going to use this application with openDNS service to block urls. Actually I don't understand how WiFi filtering is working (maybe because English are not my language). Filtering a ssid means that only when connected to it, the service will run? Or the excluded ssids won't be updated?

Is there a way to recognize the wired LAN which is connected, in order to be managed like ssids?

Is it possible for this wonderful updater to update more than one service at a time? I use DynDNS for my domain entries and OpenDNS to act as a basic content filter. Can Marcs update both for me?

Hello Marc, it is possible to include an option for Disable the Update to a newer version?.
In XP64 the build 294 don't work correctly and if i use the 293 , it tries to auto-update to a
new stable version.

BTW: in XP64 the release 1.5.3.300 has the following error during install
"this application failed to start because wlanapi dll was not found" i google it, and i found
that there is no WLANAPI.DLL for XP64, there is one for Win 7 64, but not for XP.
.

Thanks !
