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.

Please could you add DNS Made Easy?

https://dnsmadeeasy.com/technology/dynamic-dns/

Basic URL syntax is: https://cp.dnsmadeeasy.com/servlet/updateip?username=test@example.com&password=mypass&id=1007,1008,1009&ip=12.13.14.15

'id' is an internal ID assigned by them for each record.
In my experience they seem to ignore the username field - the call succeeds even if the username is wrong or blank, as long as the password for the ID is correct.

The page lists possible error strings returned - it returns 'success' if it succeeds.

Thanks.

You can now try to add it yourself. I just posted the instructions on how to add a custom service provider via JSON at the top of this page.
