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.

I have one small issue, after computer start it wait till 5 minutes to check for IP, can this change to check and update for IP at once when service started and later on it can keep checking for IP in every 5 minutes...

This shouldn't happen. The service checks for an available internet connection right after being started and updates your host if required. Are you connected through a wireless interface that takes some time to connect after booting up your computer? I am currently internally testing a new version that will handle those cases.

Hi, Yes I am using wifi. But I disable the wifi each time when I shutdown the lapi, and enable it after some time of power on.
