SABnzbd Forums

I'm running sabnzbd on a Win 8 machine and everything works fine except accessing it over HTTPS. I use DynDNS because I don't have a static IP. I forward the port I have set in sabnzbd in my router to the machine sabnzbd is running on. For a few hours everything works fine. I'm able to use the DynDNS host address I've setup to access sabnzbd (e.g. https://myserver.dyndns.com:[my port number]). After a while, though, I get this:

This webpage is not available

Google Chrome could not load the webpage because myserver.dyndns.com took too long to respond. The website may be down, or you may be experiencing issues with your Internet connection.

If I change the port in sabnzbd and do a new port forward on my router, then everything works again. Then, again, I get "This webpage is not available". Anyone else experienced something similar? Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Have you tried using another browser (like Firefox)?

I hadn't. But since you mentioned it I tried both Firefox and Safari. Nothing. But thank you for the suggestion.

Does the same happen when you use the numerical IP?

Yes. I also get the issue whether I used the default certificate or a self-signed one.

Strangly, after a restart, I'm now able to access sabnzbd only via https and only from the local machine (e.g. https://localhost:[port]). I can't access sab from my local machine using http://localhost:8080 or http://192.168.xx.xx:8080.

Which host address did you use in Config->General?

0.0.0.0

Possibly the DNS is screwed up. Which OS?
The safe method might be to use the actual numeric IP that's assigned by your router to your PC.
However, it should not change afterwards.

Windows 8 Enterprise. I used the internal IP and everything appears to be working as it should. Maybe this fixed it. I'll know by tomorrow as so far nothing has worked (assigning new ports, restarts, etc) for more than a day. Thanks for all the help so far.
