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.

Dear Mr. Hörsken,

I have not tested your Local Network, and Wireless Network options yet. If those options really work then please add support for Remote Configuration via Marcs Updater. e.g. An Admin having the ability to remotely configure a customer's local and wireless network.
Additionally, you may also suggest OpenDNS Team to do the same and to update their DNSUpdater as an alternative to the public.

Thanking You Sincerely,

What do you mean by "An Admin having the ability to remotely configure a customer's local and wireless network."? What exactly should be remotely configurable? The settings of Marcs Updater?
