Incoming connections detected by Little Snitch
I am behind a router, but I keep getting incoming connection attempts to sabnzbd. Any ideas what these are from?
Re: Incoming connections detected by Little Snitch
What is the source IP address and domain name of the incoming session?
Oh, never mind: if you just see something incoming on port 8080, it's because port 8080 is a well known port for web servers and proxy servers. So probably a robot / script kiddie looking for open proxy servers.
Just ignore it.

I checked the first IP address via whois: a Chinese IP address. So: just a port scanner. As long as you keep blocking it, there is no problem.
If you want to be even more safe, put SABnzbd on a unknown port, for example 12333, or 18080, or 18888 (but stay below 65535).
