I have Proton VPN and qbittorrent running on Windows 10 with qbittorrent bound to Proton interface.
Every now and then Proton will reconnect in the background which means the port changes and the IP address changes.
How can I monitor Proton for these changes and either a.) update qbittorrent or b.) use Pushover to notify me that a change has occurred?
You must log in or register to comment.
If you don’t want to bother with this, something a lot of people do is run qBittorrent with Proton in Docker. There are containers that will pipe any changes directly into qBittorrent. The one I use on my media server is from binhex. All self contained and easy to update since it’s Docker.
Fair warning, my personal machines run linux so I’m not able to test this.
You could use a script like the one listed here to notify you of IP address changes:

Edit: I use something like this with a pushover notification to let me know when my external IP address changes
