SABnzbd Forums

Hello everyone,

I hope one of you can help me. My sabnzbd works like a chime in my own network. As soon i would like to open the port to the outside (in my freecom datatank configuration page) i fill in name sabnzbd, dns name (my external ip adres), port 5555, folder sabnzbd this works perfect the port 5555 opens from the outside however my port 80 closes, i don't have the network experience to solve this issue.

Thnx in front everyone,

Not so good english, but I will try.

Basically you are wanting to be able to view SAB from elsewhere, you are running it on port 5555

You setup SAB to host on the IP address of the PC it's running on (internal, eg 192.168.0.1).

You forward the port (5555) from your Router to 192.168.0.1

You should then be able to access SAB from http://exte.rnal.I.P:5555

i fill in name sabnzbd, dns name (my external ip adres), port 5555, folder sabnzbd

Don't put in the dns address. Enter the IP address of your router.

Sorry, to clarify, when you access SAB you need to use the IP address of your router, on the external network (the WAN) not the internal IP address.

So if your router address is something like 999.999.999.999, you'll access SAB with http://999.999.999.999:5555.
