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.

Here's an example of wireless network filtering not working. I notice that in the log and also in the Wireless Network tab, the current SSID shows empty. There are four entries in the allowed box. Even with an empty current network (which is incorrect), you should have found that "empty" != "somthing-else"
I am assuming the entries in the Wireless Network filtering page are the allowed ones, of course

Were you actually connected to a wireless network? Because in the current version an empty box means that you are probably not connected to one and it will just ignore the filter. I think I am going to add a checkbox to change the behaviour for the "empty"-case.

yes, I was connected. I tried with several different networks. How else would I get an IP address and be able to update DDNS? In this case, these were open networks if that makes a difference,

Same issue with networks using security, for some reason you don't detect my network. I've tried this on two different PCs, both running Windows 7. Likewise, I also can't get the IP Address filtering to work. On that subject, does that function accept any form of subnetting? Thanks for your help.
