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.

Marc - Thanks for this software. Using it with no problems on my dads remote system. Did have one question though - I am using dnsomatic.com to push the IP's to multiple targets. Is there anyway for me to update more than 1 targeted host using your updater. I notice I can either update 1 host or all hosts (all.dnsomatic.com as hostname). In addition is there a way to update more than 1 provider with the IP info (e.g. no-ip, opendns).
Thanks a lot.

Currently there is no way to update multiple hosts without using dnsomatic.com. It's planned for 2.0, but I have no idea when I am able to work on it.
