qbPortWeaver is a Windows system tray application developed by martsg666, currently at version 2.6.8 with eight versions released overall. Its primary purpose is to synchronize the listening port of popular peer-to-peer clients—qBittorrent, Transmission, Deluge, or Nicotine+—with the port forwarded by a VPN connection. The software works with ProtonVPN, PIA, or any NAT-PMP capable VPN gateway or router, making it broadly applicable to port-forwarding setups rather than being tied to a single provider. This places it in the networking and file-sharing utility category, aimed at users who run torrent or Soulseek clients behind VPN connections that periodically reassign forwarded ports. The application monitors the VPN's forwarded port on a configurable interval and automatically updates the supported client whenever the port changes, removing the need for manual reconfiguration. After each update, qbPortWeaver verifies that the new port is actually reachable, and if port detection fails it can recover the VPN connection automatically, helping maintain uninterrupted connectivity. Support for Nicotine+ is handled through a small bridge plugin that qbPortWeaver installs itself, which allows the port to be changed while the client continues running without a restart. For monitoring and troubleshooting, a Status panel presents the live sync chain, a history of recent port changes, and session statistics, giving users visibility into how the synchronization process is performing over time. In addition to port synchronization, qbPortWeaver includes a built-in Media Manager capable of importing media files into Plex-compatible library folders, extending its usefulness to users who organize downloaded content for media server playback. Altogether, qbPortWeaver combines automated port management, connection recovery, client integration, and media library import into a single lightweight tray-based tool for Windows users who rely on VPN port forwarding for their peer-to-peer applications.
