About qBittorrent Proxy
# Chrome Web Store — Listing Description
> Send magnet links directly to your qBittorrent server with one click — no login, no hassle, just download.
---
## Full Description
**qBittorrent Proxy** is the missing bridge between your browser and your qBittorrent server.
If you run qBittorrent on a home server, NAS, or VPS, you know the pain: find a magnet link, switch to another tab, open the Web UI, paste the link, confirm. Again and again. **This extension eliminates all of that.**
---
**Why install it?**
- ⚡ **One-click downloads** — A "⬇ qBT" button appears next to every magnet link on any webpage. Click it and the torrent is queued on your server instantly.
- 🖱️ **Right-click support** — Right-click any magnet link and choose "Send to qBittorrent" from the context menu.
- 📋 **Clipboard auto-detection** — Copy a magnet link anywhere and it's automatically sent to your server — no extra steps required.
- 🔑 **API key authentication** — Uses a custom HTTP header (default: `x-api-key`) for secure, stateless auth. No username or password stored, no session cookies.
- 🌐 **Works everywhere** — Compatible with any reverse proxy setup (Nginx, Caddy, Traefik) that validates a header key.
---
**Who is this for?**
Anyone who self-hosts qBittorrent and wants to send torrents from the browser without ever touching the Web UI manually. Power users, home lab enthusiasts, and NAS owners will find this indispensable.
---
**Privacy & Permissions**
This extension only communicates with the qBittorrent server address *you* configure. It requests no personal data, sends nothing to third-party servers, and stores only your server URL and API key locally via Chrome's secure Storage API.
