Security/privacy question

Howdy all,
Situation:
- I use Chrome with the sabconnect++ extension to send NZB files (or links?) from NZB Geek directly to SABnzbd running on a Synology NAS.
- SABnzbd is only accessible on my LAN.
- I have not enabled https access.
Question:
Can my ISP see that I'm sending NZB files/links from NZB Geek to my IP address?
Thanks in advance.

"SABnzbd is only accessible on my LAN.", so not from Internet?
If so, then I interpret "from NZB Geek directly to SABnzbd" as untrue, and the opposite: SAB pulls the RSS feed from NZBgeek.
If so: then it's encrypted via HTTPS (because the RSS-feed starts with https, right?). Your ISP can see traffic to an IP address (on which NZBgeet is hosted), but not what's inside that traffic.

Sabconnect just forwards the url to SABnzbd to fetch it.

Thanks - so can my ISP see that SABconnect++ is forwarding the URL to SABnzbd, or that SABnzbd is fetching the nzb file?
Edit: clarification

No. That's on your LAN.

No. It's within HTTPS so encrypted.
Quote from google-search:
When a web site does use HTTPS, an ISP cannot see URLs and content in unencrypted form. However, ISPs can still almost always see the domain names that their subscribers visit. DNS queries are almost never encrypted.

I see! Many thanks for your replies
