Detect changes in your external IP address and alert you via GUI(tkinter) popup.
Also store history of IP addresses changes in file log_ip.txt.
Write in Python, so it is cross platform and no external dependencies.
Best is to run it every minute via crontab, or some other scheduler.
* * * * * cd ~/ip_change_alert/; ./venv_3-11-4/bin/python main.py >> ./LOGS/`date -u +\%Y-\%m-\%d`.txt 2>&1
# Delete old logs, for my use-case once per day it is fine
05 13 * * * find ~/ip_change_alert/LOGS \( -type f -mtime +1 \) -delete
Data is stored in JSON file data.json in same directory as main.py.
Need to noticed when my external IP is changed, so had to build tool myself.
Can be useful for security minded individuals.
