Re: Accessing Sabnzbd Remotely Question

Weak passwords are the main threat. We are not aware of weaknesses of the API itself. Note that I mean this literally: "we are not aware". Personally I access it only over a VPN connection. WIth release 1.0.0 you can close the API a bit further. Config->General->Internet access : set to "API (no config)".

Re: Accessing Sabnzbd Remotely Question

Utilities usually use the API key and not your username/password. As long as you do it over an HTTPS connection, it's not snoopable. However, there's a bit of a catch. Since SABnzbd cannot have a valid HTTPS certificate (unless you buy one yourself), most utilities will just accept invalid certificates. This leaves you open to potential man-in-the-middle attacks. That's mostly a worry when using public WiFi spots. What an attacker gains by stealing your API key is very small, especially if you set security to API-without-config access..

Can't remotely access SABnzbd

I gave SABnzbd a try a while a go and it didn't seem to work so I went back to Grabbit. However I decided to give it another go and it's pretty cool! However I've got a problem and I can't seem to fix it or find the solution anywhere.

Re: Can't remotely access SABnzbd

The times I mentioned a local IP (192. etc) above I'm connected to my router (ie SABnzbd is running on a machine connected to the router and the clients are also connected to the same router) and the external IP when I tried connecting via the internet rather than the router. None of them worked

Remote Access via port forwarding

I have a problem accessing to SABnzbd over dyndns and port forwarding.

Re: Remote Access via port forwarding

What did you tell the router to forward exactly? I assume your internal systems have fixed local IP addresses? Which version of SABnzbd are you using?

Re: Remote Access via port forwarding

I use a similar setup and it works fine. Is SABnzbd reachable from within your local network? SABnzbd cannot be only bound to localhost. You need to use 0.0.0.0 or the local IP address (assuming it's constant).

Re: Remote Access via port forwarding

You are using https to connect to SABnzbd from the outside? http won't work. Countless people are using a similar setup, I'm still suspecting your router setup. You could try to use release 1.0.0RC5

Re: Remote Access via port forwarding

Do do you use HTTPS in the URL you try to use for access to SABnzbd Do you try that from a device NOT on your LAN, for example your phone connected via 3G/4G (not Wifi)? If Yes and Yes, I would change SABnzbd-Host to "0.0.0.0" , und dann ein Neustart.

Can you speed limit on Usenet?

You can speed limit, enable and disable specific Usenet servers, pause and resume, shut down SABnzbd, and more. Just remember that you need to set the time using 24 hour notation and create a start/stop point for most actions such as pause/resume, speed limit/no limit, etc.

Does Sabnzbd come with a web console?

Although SABnzbd comes with a Spartan but completely serviceable web console, browser add-ons really streamline the management process—especially if you’ve got SABnzbd installed on a remote computer. Since you’re already using a browser to interact with SABnzbd it’s not much of an adjustment to stop relying completely on the web console and start enjoying the benefits of a browser add-on.

Does SABnzbd support HTTPS?
