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 Marc,
Just a question about the network and wireless tabs.
If I have a laptop at home, and I sometimes use it with NIC and sometimes with wifi, then I DO NOT tick those boxes? So if I go to friends house, it should also automatically filter any wifi or NIC connections I make there.
In other words, local networks and wireless should Only be ticked if you want filtering to work ONLY on Specific local and wifi networks, but if they aren't ticked they will filter ALL connected wifi and local networks that are connected?
Is this correct, or have I understood it backwards? :-p
Thank you

Hello, I am using Mars updater with Open DNS. I am getting the following message when my IP changes. "There is a problem or scheduled maintanance on our side. The program will stop updating for ca. 30 minutes." I am trying to understand if this is a Marcs error or if it is on Open DNS's side.
