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.

Multiple dyndns host update.

I have a domain with some subdomains. And each subdomain redirects to a different spDNS address. At the moment your software can handle only one address. Is it possible to run multiple instances?

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,

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!

Posted in discussion. I repost as request here:

Is possible to add Internet.bs DDNS service ( http://www.internetbs.net ) ?

https://dyndns.topdns.com/update?hostname=

it is possible to use wget to update the ip. Here is a sample url:

AutoIP
https://dyndns.topdns.com/update?hostname=mydomain.tld&username=myusername&password=mypassword

Personalized IP
https://dyndns.topdns.com/update?hostname=mydomain.tld&username=myusername&password=mypassword&myip=1.2.3.4

To put ddns offline
https://dyndns.topdns.com/update?hostname=mydomain.tld&username=myusername&password=mypassword&offline=yes

Note both URLs i gave you are using https but you can also use http however, for security reasons, we
recommend using https.
thanks

Hi Marc

I'm wondering if you could add to the filtering feuture a functionality that uses mac address along with local network to recognize the current network that a pc is currently connected.

Add support for ChangeIP.com and allow your updater to work with both opendns and changeip at the same time. I use them both. Changeip.com used to provide a tool that did both, but they no longer do.

Thanks
