Greetings fellow relay operators!

I'm currently running a tor relay on a dynamic IP Address connection, 
usually my ISP gives me a new address every day or so-

Lately [for the past like week or so- /can't remember when it started 
happening/], I have to manually restart it when my WAN IP Address 
changes; to get the relay back online- (systemctl restart tor at default)

Is there a way to not manually restart tor (besides running a cron 
script to do so)

Below are my tor configuration:

Tor 0.4.8.12 on Linux
Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)
/etc/tor/torrc
Nickname    hadleyJamison

ControlPort 9051
