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.

Would you please add a possibility for custom provider beside the preset providers?
In my case, my webhoster does offer dynDNS. They clame they use the standard for the DynDNS-protocol (http://dyn.com/support/developers/api/perform-update/)
This is the URL they provide to change the DNS
https://[username]:[password]@dyndns.binero.se/nic/update?hostname=[host]&myip=[ip]
So I assume that your tool needs input boxes for
* Username
* Password
* DynDNS (which in my case is dyndns.binero.se)
* Maybe a check-ip URL in case the one you provide will go down one day, we still can change to something else
* Hostnames: that is if one has more hostnames that needs update
And a tip; why not change your app name to "DynDNS Updater by Marc"? ;-)
Thank you!

Hello again,
1) In the IP updates window, what does the text mean. Is that the feedback we get from the update?
2) Is there any build in auto-start with Windows or should I manually place it in Startup?
3) Can I add more items under Hostname? How to separate them?
thanks!
