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 beta version 1.5.0.265
- Handle system power mode changes with service pause and continue
- Fixed memory leaks caused by unchecked memory reallocation results
- Fixed some stability issues
Because this version includes significant changes to the service functionality, it needs to be stress-tested before it can be released as a stable version.
Beta versions can be downloaded by ticking the checkbox in the About tab, pressing OK and installing the update using the automatic updater.

It doesn't appear that the updater works on OpenDNS if there is a space in the OpenDNS Network Name/Label

Hi friend, one question, how do you know that the IP is different in the machine and on the Dyndns, you save the last ip in the computer, and after this your compare in 5 minutes?

Hi Marc,
I still have the old updater installed, and the password isn't encrypted, if I install the latest version over the top, will it automatically update all the files and encrypt the password, or will there be leftover reg settings/files....?
Thanks!

Hi Mr. Marcs when you give the information about the IP Updates, where you save this information in a Database? or in a file inside the program ?

Hi, i have a large vpn with dinamic ip's, this weekend the updaters keep the old ip instead of the new so the vpn was down until i manually connected to each computer and installed another updater. My question is if something happened that prevented that none of the updaters worked properly. Sorry for my english
