Access externally

[powerpengun]

Hey guys,

I am trying to access SAB externally but having a bit of trouble. Ironically I can access it within the SAB app on my iphone but hoping to access the queue from a web browser when im outside the network. I have it hosted by dyndns which automatically updated when the ip address changes, I have the port forwarded and a dynamic dns setup on the router so im not sure where I am going wrong. If anyone could help me out that would be fantastic.

As a forum admin, I can see your IP address. And on port 8080 of that IP address, my browser gets a popup asking for the SABnzbd username/password. So that looks good to me.

So can you describe in more detail what you tried, and what worked and what didn't?

Is it ok if I PM you the address I am trying to use to connect to it?

Yes, you can.

But maybe easier: access http://api.ipify.org from the system (or LAN) SABnzbd is running on; it will show your public IPv4 address.

And one step further: go to http://www.whatsmyip.org/port-scanner/ (which will show your public IPv4 address), at "Custom Port Test" fill out 8080, and then click on Scan Port.

I've written a server side program which you can use to see if your SABnzbd is accessible from Internet

Usage for SABnzbd running on default port 8080

Usage for SABnzbd running on another port, in this case port 33333
http://scanmysabnzbd.appelboor.com/cgi- ... port=33333

Feedback welcome
