Accessing From Another Device

Hi all,

I recently had an issue with Sab, so I had to re-install. Everything is working fine for downloading etc., however I cannot now access from any machine other than the one it's running on.

I'm pretty sure I've just not got my setting correct rather than there's an issue!

I have left the SSL section in settings unused, and have the SABnzbd Host set at 127.0.0.1 on port 8080.

On my other machines/mobiles etc., I use the IP address of the machine Sab is running on: 192.168.0.8:8080/sabnzbd but nothing happens.

Is this right?

Also, I'd rather use SSL (this was how I used it before the re-install), so could anyone comment on the settings needed for this please?

Also (!), I'd like to be able to access from outside my network as well as inside, is this possible, and if so, what settings should I use?

Sorry for all the questions! Please let me know what other info to provide if necessary.

Cheers

TD

Read the Wiki:
https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/configuration/1.1/general

Code: Select all

127.0.0.1 or [::1] or localhost (default) = Access from this computer only
empty = Finds and listens on your local (ipv4) ip address. Used for accessing from other computers. localhost will not work anymore so update your bookmarks.
0.0.0.0 = Listens on multiple interfaces (both local IP and localhost).
:: = Listen on both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for local and network access.

Thank you, leaving it blank worked, at least for local network access which is most important to me...

Outside network access I'm guessing would be hard as I always have a VPN turned on? Or is this simpler than I think?

Hmm, this I don't know how it would work with VPN.. I guess that would be hard.

Ok no problem, it's not the most important thing for me, I can always remote desktop into the home if I need access.

EDIT: lol couldn't get Sonarr to work with Sab using SSL, so back to non-SSL again!
