Programatically find app forwarded port???
Is there currently (as of app version 1.3.3) any way to programmatically discover the PIA forwarded port after the app has connected to PIA? There used to be several methods including parsing a log file and a secret local socket api. Today all those former methods seem to be closed off. I'm using Linux, if it makes a difference, but if there's a method that works on Windows or Mac I'd like to hear about it.
I'm using the app for the convenience of being able to interactively turn the PIA connection on and off. But I also have a daemon that wants to listen on the forwarded port. It's ridiculous to have to cut and paste from the app GUI to tell the daemon which port to use. Surely the app could (and should) write the forwarded port information (and the tunnel IP address too, but I already know how to get that programmatically) into a json file.
