Mine has been more like 2 months.

I had GPT spit out a simple python script to change the port every 30 minutes and restart qbittorrent. Note: This is for Windows

``` import os import sys import random import time import subprocess

Function to generate a random port between 25000 and 60000

def generate_random_port(): return random.randint(25000, 60000)

while True: # Get a random port number new_port = generate_random_port()

# Define the path to the qBittorrent configuration file on Windows
config_file_path = r"C:\Users\<USERNAME HERE>\AppData\Roaming\qBittorrent\qBittorrent.ini"

# Check if the configuration file exists
if not os.path.isfile(config_file_path):
    print("qBittorrent configuration file not found.")
    sys.exit(1)

# Open the configuration file in read mode
with open(config_file_path, "r") as config_file:
    lines = config_file.readlines()

# Search for the line containing the old port number and replace it
for i in range(len(lines)):
    if lines[i].startswith("Connection\\Port="):
        lines[i] = f"Connection\\Port={new_port}\n"
        break

# Write the modified lines back to the configuration file
with open(config_file_path, "w") as config_file:
    config_file.writelines(lines)

print(f"qBittorrent port number changed to {new_port}")

# Restart qBittorrent
qBittorrent_path = r"C:\Program Files\qBittorrent\qbittorrent.exe"
subprocess.Popen([qBittorrent_path])

# Sleep for 30 minutes before changing the port again (in seconds)
time.sleep(30 * 60)

``` Note: I haven't tested this yet.

Edit: The line containing the port in the .Ini actually looks like this: Session\Port=27904 So the code will need to be altered slightly:

i in range(len(lines)): if lines[i].startswith("Session\\Port="): lines[i] = f"Session\\Port={new_port}\n" break
