How to enable remote access?

Post by DennisMadsen »

I've enabled HTTPS support. When I installed SABnzdb I choose not to enable remote access. I've changed my mind - how can I enable that not? I cannot find anything in the configuration.

HTTPS and remote access are not related.
If you don't want remote access, use 0.0.0.0 instead of localhost as hostname.
HTTPS can be set on and off independently.
Both are configurable in Config->General.

Thanks. Changing from localhost to 0.0.0.0 helped me.

Another question; is the HTTPS secure? Can I disable HTTP and only allow connection from HTTPS on remote? Do not want any to have access (Of cause it's protected by a password).

You cannot prevent HTTP right now, that will be possible in the next major release.
If you are setting up external access (from the Internet),
just let your router only forward the HTTPS port.

HTTPS is just as secure as any other HTTPS connection.
The only issue is that SABnzbd creates an unofficial SSL certificate.
This supports safe encryption but not proper authentication.
For the latter you need to buy an official SSL certificate from e.g. comodo.com
