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.

Hello everyone,
the new website is now live. Comments have been migrated from Disqus to this site and will now be categorized into discussions, (feature-)requests and issues. I am still working on the automated download section and bringing back the version information.
Best regards,

Hello everyone,
I plan to perform a major update to this site till the end of this month. After that new updates to the application itself will follow, here are some aspects on my todo list for a possible beta version of v2.0:
- update multiple dynamic DNS services
- add more dynamic DNS services (mainly the ones mentioned in other comments)
- support for custom dynamic DNS services
- and of course: internal bug fixes and code restructuring

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!
