Automated ProtonVPN New Device Alerts

Every hour, WebRun opens your ProtonVPN account, checks the list of connected devices against last hour's list, logs any newly seen device to a Trello board with its connection time and server, and alerts Microsoft Teams the moment one is not on your known device list.

In short

How do I get alerted when a new device connects to my ProtonVPN account?

WebRun checks your ProtonVPN account every hour for connected devices, logs any device seen for the first time to a Trello board, and alerts Microsoft Teams the moment one is not on your known list. It never disconnects a device or changes your credentials, so you decide what happens next.

  • A new device connection is checked within the hour it appears
  • Unrecognized devices trigger a Teams alert instead of going unnoticed
  • Every device has a running history on the Trello board

Questions, answered

Does WebRun disconnect the device or change my password?

No. WebRun only reports what it finds. Disconnecting a device or changing your ProtonVPN credentials is left for you to do yourself.

How does it know a device is new?

It compares this hour's connected device list against the previous hour's. Anything not seen before gets logged and, if still unconfirmed, triggers the Teams alert.

What happens once I confirm a device is mine?

Move its card to known on the Trello board, and it will not trigger another alert on future runs.

Put this on autopilot.
