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.

Hi Marc
I run http://activedns.co.za dynamic dns service which based in Cape Town, South Africa.
In South Africa we sometimes have different pricing for international and local traffic. And we even have things like local-only accounts (often used by lcoal business for intra-branch communications or VOIP systems.) making a South African service useful.
Would you be able to add us as an option to your updater?
We are compatible with the dyndns2 protocol, except that updates need to go to update.activedns.co.za instead.
Let me know. Thanks.

Hi Edward, yes, I can add ActiveDNS to the next version. Even though I think I won't have much time to create a new one until July. We will see.
