It seems like something in SSL/TLS is broken (don't have any knowledge of that). Perhaps this is a problem in one of the packages SABnzbd uses on my QNAP and not SABnzbd itself?

Ah, smart remark!

Easy to check: try some other newsservers, for example news.eweka.nl and news.frugalusenet.com, with SSL on.

more newsserver you can try: https://www.appelboor.com/newsservers/n ... LS-OK.html ... test with a few well-known ones.

It might just be a coincidence, but I have no problems connecting to servers which use TLS v1.3 from that list (like news.eweka.nl), but I get invalid hostname when I try to connect to servers which use TLS v1.2 (like news.xsnews.nl).

Wow, that is weird. Last try: config/special/#allow_old_ssl_tls ... tick that. I don't expect a difference, but you never know.

Otherwise: stick to the non-SSL connection

Oh wait, there might be hope

SAB 3.4.2 was released on Oct 15, 2021

On Nov 18, 2021 (so: later), a change was made to HappyEyeballs in this commit: https://github.com/sabnzbd/sabnzbd/comm ... 70ccf3bb4f

So ... as soon as SAB 3.5.0 is available for your QNAP, test it again with SSL to newszilla.xs4all.nl

Thanks sander and oneCD for all your help. Really appreciated!

I’m not really sure what that change means, but when oneCD removed support for Sickchill out of Sherpa, I installed Sickgear and also updated Entware. So several packages have been updated. I was and am running 3.4.2 but the updated packages could have triggered the bug which is fixed. I know for sure things have changed, because my system load is significantly lower and SABnzbd is downloading a lot faster (almost twice as fast) compared to before the update of Entware.

I’ll keep SSL switched off for now and when version 3.5.0 is out, I’ll check if my problem is solved.

Thanks again for all your help!

It looks like the release of 3.5.0 isn’t too far-off. To update, you only need to restart your SABnzbd QPKG. If any additional packages are required, I’ll add them to sherpa.

Hi, I just installed 3.5.0 and can confirm everything is working fine now. I have switched SSL on and SAB can connect to newszilla

Good work @andyvie.
