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.

Thank you for the awesome software.

Would you be able to add Dynu.com to the DNS Service Provider list?

Dynu uses the same protocol as Dyn and the update server is api.dynu.com. An example URL looks like this:

http://api.dynu.com/nic/update?hostname=example.dynu.com&myip=198.144.117.32&myipv6=2604:4400:a:8a::f4&password=098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6

The detailed IP update protocol is available at https://www.dynu.com/en-US/DynamicDNS/IP-Update-Protocol.

Thanks.
