I was away from home for a month, and got somewhat worried when i could no longer reach my BI server after a couple weeks. Turns out my ISP changed my external IP address on me (hadn't changed in 5+ years prior.)
Anyway, I see BI (under options/web server) has settings to 'refresh external IP every X minutes' and it can log that change to a file when detected, but I don't see any (obvious) way to have it send me an email when that happens so I can adjust my external connection parameters (in phone app and/or web UI URL)
Any ideas? or shall I ask Ken to add such a feature?
(of course, I could use some sort of Dynamic DNS service, but given how infrequently my IP changes, not sure its worth the cost/effort...)
Thanx, Paul.
