Due to something called DNS hijacking, attackers could access your SABnzbd installation even if you have not exposed it to the internet.
#SABNZBD REFUSED TO CONNECT HOW TO#
Creating a valid certificate using Let’s Encrypt This article is about the message Refused connection with hostname '', and how to solve it. App settings like VVM connection values in the Dialer Configuration keys. Please note using a port number below 1024 requires running as root under linux. sabnzbd access denied File: Permission denied. If you expose SABnzbd to the Internet you can use 443 as port number, as this is the official number for HTTPS and allows you to not specify the port when accessing. Set it to empty to enable HTTPS on the main port. NOTE If you upgraded from an older version of SABnzbd, the HTTPS port (under Advanced) might be set to 9090. If you want it to listen on a different port specific for HTTPS, you can specify this by clicking on Advanced. This will enable HTTPS on the main listening port. To turn on access using HTTPS, you need enable HTTPS in Config->General.

All of my services are internal only and are fronted by my reverse proxy. I run the following services via Docker in my homelab - Sonarr, Radarr, Plex, SABnzbd and NGINX Proxy Manager. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious but I would appreciate any guidance here. You probably only need a basic certificate, but even these are expensive not worth the price for just accessing SABnzbd. Sonarr/Radarr is unable to connect to SABnzbd which is behind a reverse proxy. If you want trouble-free communication you need to buy a certificate from one of the many Certificate Authorities, for example from Verisign or Let’s Encrypt (see below).īe warned that certificates come with different capabilities and hence, different prices. You can change the location of these files by entering the full path to both in Config->General.
