You can see it in the Log. Is there such an urgent need to keep it constantly in front of your eyes?
In addition, qBittorrent can use several network interfaces connected to a public network, IIRC.

Absolutely a desperate urgent need to verify things are working through VPN, yes. This would really be appreciated, since Deluge has had it for years.

I won't bother, Deluge already did (bottom): https://dl.flathub.org/repo/screenshots/org.deluge_torrent.deluge-stable/752x423/org.deluge_torrent.deluge-9315e0e968847894130970e02f2fdd8a.png

Many web-interfaces that show external IPs allow you to specify the URL to obtain the information from and the fetch/update interval as well.

Similar request:

#19253

I posted a working solution that could be backported to earlier stable versions, worked GUI and WebUI, they didn't want it. Closed the PR. Deluge is still apparently the only one to get it right about displaying externally-detected IP addresses. I meet less toxic devs working on the Linux Kernel. *shrug*

I read several posts yesterday otherwise that don't appear there today. I wasn't the only one to read them either. I'm not re-hashing things, so why are you bringing that back up? They can easily read the original PR. I'd still rather dev with Linus Torvald's old behavior, for whatever that might convey in response.

Because you ARE re-hashing things, "I posted a working solution that could be backported to earlier stable versions, worked GUI and WebUI, they didn't want it. Closed the PR. Deluge is still apparently the only one to get it right about displaying externally-detected IP addresses. I meet less toxic devs working on the Linux Kernel. shrug"

^If that is not re-hashing something, it explains; why you don't understand normal logic^

You would have had to delete them yourself, GitHub doesn't allow others to delete your comments for you. It just sounds like you are trying to shift the blame for being rude.

So far the only one acting like a child on a public PR request, is you....

You were being rude, because people asked you to change your naming conventions to meet those that are already established within this repository. You even said that you don't care about it. They told you they wanted to see a change to the verbiage already in use, which you flat out refused.

You randomly mentioning Torvald does nothing for you...You haven't apologized for blowing up on people that wanted some change, but were in no way rude to you. If you are claiming that you acted like Torvald himself, then yes; you have acted like him so far.

That was from yesterday, a follow-up, or did you miss the timestamp?

It wasn't my posts missing. Again, I'm not the only one who read them.

*yawn*

You were being rude, because people asked you to change your naming conventions to meet those that are already established within this repository. You even said that you don't care about it. They told you they wanted to see a change to the verbiage already in use, which you flat out refused.

I said I didn't care if they wanted to change it, that the choice was theirs if they wished, I specifically told them they could use it as they wished, you're conveniently not mentioning any of that.

You randomly mentioning Torvald does nothing for you...You haven't apologized for blowing up on people that wanted some change, but were in no way rude to you. If you are claiming that you acted like Torvald himself, then yes; you have acted like him so far.

At this point, blow it out your end. I wasn't claiming that I was acting like Torvald, I said I would rather work with someone like Torvald's old behavior (mostly because he simply cared about the code). Do whatever the you want with the PR or code, I don't care. Don't bother quoting/replying/naming me, I'm just going to ignore the repo at this point.

I hope your ass blows out, then it would match your personality....Egomanic just like Torvald that goes on a petty power trips...Submits a PR then deletes his own code out of spite....Just to bring it back out of embarrassment.

Then tries to keep his ego intact by saying "I don't care", when the embarrassment and bringing back the code proves the opposite is true.

Edit: Hopefully that loser actually stays away like he claims.
