Hello frens, I recently installed qBittorrent in a docker under Synology NAS and needed a way to confirm that my VPN configuration (made also in docker) actually works. I couldn't find a way to natively display such information in qBittorrent, there is no browser window too, so I wrote a simple search plugin and "hijacked" it to perform the request for me.

I hope you like it and that it gets included in qBittorrent, and maybe, in the future, even as a native feature available from the menu, but in the meantime, this is a good enough way to go.

If for any reason you don't think it is a great idea, feel free to ignore it as I already accomplished my goal. However, I believe it can be a handy tool for those who need to ensure their VPN is working correctly with qBittorrent, hence why I am making the effort to share it.

Cheers! 🥂

This is how it looks
