For users that run qBittorrent via Microsoft IIS as a reverse proxy an extra header is needed. You must install the [URL Rewrite](https://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite) addon first. Reverse proxy support will be enabled when creating the first rule.
For users that run qBittorrent via Microsoft IIS as a reverse proxy an extra header is needed. You must install the [URL Rewrite](https://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite) and [Application Request Routing](https://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/application-request-routing) addons first. Reverse proxy support will be enabled when creating the first rule.
1. On the URL Rewrite Page open **View Server Variables** on the right side
2. Click **Add** and in the box that appears enter `HTTP_X-Forwarded-Host`
3. Return to the rules page
4. Open **Add Rules** and select **Reverse Proxy**
5. Enter the server IP:Port without `http://` (for example `127.0.0.1:8080`)
6. Open the new rule and change the path to a subdirectory if needed (for example **qbweb/(.*)** = http://domain.tld/qbweb/)
7. Under **Server Variables** add a rule with the following:
1. In the IIS Manager, Click on the machine name to view general configuration options
2. Click on **Application Request Routing Cache**
3. On the Right hand side, Click on **Server Proxy Setting**, then tick the **Enable Proxy** box
4. Create a new site that will handle the reverse proxy requests
5. Select the site and then open **URL Rewrite**
6. On the right hand side, open **View Server Variables**
7. Click **Add** and in the box that appears enter `HTTP_X-Forwarded-Host`
8. Repeat this for `HTTP_REFERER` and `HTTP_ORIGIN`
9. Return to the rules page
10. Open **Add Rules** and select **Reverse Proxy**
11. Enter the server IP:Port without `http://` (for example `127.0.0.1:8080`), then click **OK**
12. Open the new rule and change the path to a subdirectory if needed (for example **qbweb/(.*)** = http://domain.tld/qbweb/)
13. Under **Server Variables** add the following 3 rules:
```
Server variable name Value
Server variable name: **HTTP_X-Forwarded-Host**
HTTP_X-Forwarded-Host `{HTTP_HOST}:{SERVER_PORT}`
HTTP_REFERER `0`
HTTP_ORIGIN `0`
```
Value: `{HTTP_HOST}:{SERVER_PORT}`
14. In the IIS Manager, right click on the site name and select **Explore**
15. Look for the `web.config` file and open it your text editor of choice
16. Find the lines `<set name="HTTP_REFERER" value="0" />` and `<set name="HTTP_ORIGIN" value="0" />` and delete *0* from the **value** of both.
The code is automatically created in the web.config file and looks like this (you must use the GUI first so reverse proxy support is enabled):
The result should look similar to this (Note: you must use the GUI first so reverse proxy support is enabled in IIS):
```xml
<rule name="Qbittorrent" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="qbweb/(.*)" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="http://127.0.0.1:8080/{R:1}" />
<serverVariables>
<set name="HTTP_X-Forwarded-Host" value="{HTTP_HOST}:{SERVER_PORT}" />
<set name="HTTP_REFERER" value="" />
<set name="HTTP_ORIGIN" value="" />
</serverVariables>
</rule>
```
You can use HTTPS to access the URL via IIS and it will use HTTP to communicate with qBittorrent. There is no need for HTTPS on localhost.
