How to check if Proton VPN has switched locations? (sh.itjust.works)

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?

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
