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.

When I start your Updater, I get a mesage that tells me that the security certificate is invalid. The company is UNBLOGGBAR.ORG. This is the status of the certificate: This certificate cannot be verified up to a trusted certification authority.
Can you tell me what this is about? This started with the 232 update and has continued with the 235 version. Running W2K Server edition, with all updates installed.
Thanks.

This is not related to the updater version. The SSL certificate of this server is used for multiple domains, including marc-hoersken.de and unbloggbar.org. Currently unbloggbar.org is the main domain, but the certificate also includes this one. You shouldn't get a warning at all, please update W2K to the latest SP and install all updates, because one of them includes an SSL certificate update.
The reason is that the updater asks this host for the current version number on each startup.
