seedbox ... I've the idea it's an account on a machine (so: not a VPS), and thus you cannot freely use all ports.
You know, it's not really clear to me what it is. The concept was a curiosity to me so I signed up for a month.

VPN ... very well possible that jgmtfia's VPN only does IPv4
The openvpn config is out of my control, and not really visible.

About jgmtfia's IPv6: 2620:b8:4000:1000::90:0 = columbia.whatbox.ca. I'm assuming that is the seedbox provider, and NOT the VPN provider. Correct, jgmtfia?
Correct. The VPN is between whatbox and a local machine. The goal is not to have open ports on a public interface. IT just felt wrong, an generally not a good idea.

If so, the seeedbox is providing the IPv6 (possibly behind NAT), and possibly the VPN is only doing IPv4, leaving the IPv6 in place on another interface ...
Something I did notice is that sabnzbd did declare that "My local IPv4 address = 192.131.44.90" and "My IPv6 address = 2620:b8:4000:1000::90:0", which it true, but should be irrelevant given the invocation was --server 10.8.0.1:9833, the local VPN endpoint.
