Do you experience problems during downloading?
Check your connection in Status and Interface settings window.
Use Test Server in Config > Servers.
We will probably ask you to do a test using only basic settings.
Do you experience problems during repair or unpacking?
Enable +Debug logging in the Status and Interface settings window and share the relevant parts of the log here using [ code ] sections.
i can't publicize the remote URL, but it's the same i have been using for 2 years. I know it's running cause I can remote into the box and use it and I am still getting downloads from it. Sonarr, Plex, PlexPy all still work remotely.
crap i do recall something in the log about needing pyopenssl, so installed it. just uninstalled and rebooted. still no access. damn it. should I reinstall python?
No, pyopenssl has not been required since 1.2.0, so more than a year ago.
First answer our questions we can help you:
What page do you get when you try to connect? No page at all, or 'Access denied'?
What do you have set for SABnzbd host on Config > General? Is it set to 0.0.0.0 (the value it should be to allow external access)?

So then it is not SABnzbd, because if you can access it from within the network, then SABnzbd is allowing connections from outside. Some other things are blocking the port.

What version of SABnzbd were you previously using? You can always re-install it again https://sabnzbd.org/download-stats and see if that solves the problem?
