Marcs Updater - Request

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.

Hi,
simple to use, a service, it seems to be good.
Unfortunately, i have no DynDNS account, i plan to use it with Strato DynDNS.
Are you planning a feature like this? Many users would be happy about this.

Your Updater is working great on W7-64 Ult. SP1 and Dual WAN. The initial update tooks 1:30h until DNS was usable. I have had some Problems with Strato, 2 credential pairs for Package and Control. Maybe it will be a good feature to add multiple Hostnames eg. www.a.b wiki.a.b ???.a.b ....
