Can I access the SABnzbd+ web interface via a computer over the internet? I can do it just fine via another PC on my network by putting my Mac's local IP address in the web server box, but I can't figure out how to access it over the net.
Cheers

Re: Acces web interface via remote PC over internet?
But how will the remote PC I'm using knwo to connect to my Mac at home? I have my Mac's local IP address in the SABnzbd Web Server box, i.e. a generic one like 192.168.0.1. How on Earth would a PC I'm using miles and miles away know that it's got to connect to my Mac?
Re: Acces web interface via remote PC over internet?
Your router knows your public IP address, but you probably have to use a service
like www.no-ip.com to get a proper internet name for your home IP address.
Next you tell the router that it should route any traffic for port 8080 to
port 8080 on your Mac.
BTW: If you are not familiar with this subject, I would recommend against
opening up your router for external traffic.
It's quite risky if you don't know what you are doing.
Hackers might easily get into your home network.
