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.

Marc. We'd like to use your updater in partnership with OpenDNS, but I find one major problem in the design. The password for the accounts used to update OpenDNS is in plain text under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Marcs Updater. This kills using this tool for us. Are you planning on fixing this?
Please advise.
Thanks.

Would it be possible to add a scheduled update feature such that an update occurs whether or not the IP changes? I just recently had my DynDNS domain of 7 years deleted because my IP has not changed in a long time.

Can you implement a manual "update NOW!" button ? Because I run a game server and each time my modem reboots to change ip itself , it takes a minimum of 5 minutes for the program to automatically detect the ip change!

They are nice to have if you want them, but having a way to disable them would be nice.
