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?

    Can confirm that this happens on mobile (installed via F-Droid on GrapheneOS). It will seemingly change countries or profiles mid day or overnight without a restart.

    It is super annoying and causes sites I use to send me through all the verifications again / generate new tokens…

    I have not witnessed this on Linux via flatpak but will keep an eye out…

    That’s weird. What is the reasoning behind that? That would drive me up the wall. A new IP and port would require a new leak test for me. Some VPN slots have a reverse DNS which attaches an identifier to the whole shebang, and in my mind, is unacceptable.
