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.

Hello Marc,
Is there some kind of "Forced" update that update the IP even if it didn't changed ? If yes, what is the interval for this update ?
We wanted to know because some DDNS provider can block your account if you do too many "forced" update in a short period of time.
Thanks,

Hi there, the current time limit after which an update is enforced even without an IP change is 1 week + random(30 minutes). For OpenDNS it is 2,5 hours + random(30 minutes) since they asked me to set it like this.

Ok, is there a way to modify this number ? Because with a provider like Dyndns there's a chance that your DDNS will be blocked if they detect a 'Update Abuse' http://dyn.com/support/abuse/
