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.

Hello Marc.
Recently dyndns announced the termination of their free services.
I would like to see your application using cPanel API to update zones for those with custom domains:

hi,
could you implement a function to enter different DNS services? there are many free dynamic DNS services your client does not cover.

Can i get options to put more than one hostname in the updater for single server like user1.dyndns.xxx and user2.dyndns.xxx . this is because i want to give seperate hostnames to seperate people for access. if possible do let me know how to do it . thanks in advance

It doesn't update dnsomatic anymore. I have two hosts in dnsomatic - no-ip and opendns, both has separate "hostnames". Neither are updated if I don't write a hostname. Only one is updated if I write a hostname (the hostname's host). So it is useless with dnsomatic now.

Hello Marc,
Is there some kind of "Forced" update that update the IP even if it didn't changed ? If yes, what is the interval for this update ?
We wanted to know because some DDNS provider can block your account if you do too many "forced" update in a short period of time.
Thanks,

Hi,
To make it more secure, this is a good idea to at least encript the password in the regedit, we think to use it when this will be correct please...

Dyndns blocked my free account a few weeks ago for "abuse", saying it was being updated too frequently. I've set things up so that dns-O-matic updates dyndns, and your updater updates dns-O-matic. I noticed in the release notes for the latest version (build 253 2011-07-29) something about fixing a problem with updating too frequently. Was this aimed directly at the dyndns problem?
On the subject of release notes, it would be handy to be able to get at them directly from the About tab.

Marc - Thanks for this software. Using it with no problems on my dads remote system. Did have one question though - I am using dnsomatic.com to push the IP's to multiple targets. Is there anyway for me to update more than 1 targeted host using your updater. I notice I can either update 1 host or all hosts (all.dnsomatic.com as hostname). In addition is there a way to update more than 1 provider with the IP info (e.g. no-ip, opendns).
Thanks a lot.

We're using Verizon and it was necessary to proxy the DNS requests because VZ hijacks DNS requests.
