Cannot login on laptop [Unraid]

So my SABnzbd in on a rack server running Unraid and its a docker.
All was fine, could access the SABnzbd list from any device on the local network with a user/pass
Then while downloading my server crashed.... it locked up with fans screaming, so i pulled the plug.
Restarted server and it automatically runs it checks after a bad shutdown.
Since then i cannot access SABnzbd with my laptop which is my usual device for doing so?
I checked and it logs in and works fine on my phone?
when i try logging in i go to the IP address and get "External internet access denied" then the link im not allowed to post.
i checked the ini file and it still says "Host = 0.0.0.0"
any ideas?

I also have the same problem. Restarted my server today, and now sabnzbd (Docker) denies all my local ip-addresses.
When I enter
http://sabnzbd.lan, I get this error:
Code: Select all
External internet access denied - https://sabnzbd.org/access-denied
I did not change anything. Just restarted my server.
sabnzbd: 4.5.5 [11ba9ae]
Error-log;
Code: Select all
WARNING::[interface:414] Abgelehnte Verbindung von: ::ffff:172.32.17.1 (X-Forwarded-For: 192.168.178.26) [<REDACTED>]
WARNING::[interface:414] Abgelehnte Verbindung von: ::ffff:172.32.17.1 (X-Forwarded-For: 172.29.0.2) [Sonarr/4.0.16.2944 (alpine 3.22.2)]

Current workaround:
I edited sabnzbd.ini, and changed inet_exposure to 4 (default: 0).
Any ideas what's going wrong here out of a sudden?
If you need any more logs, I am happy to help.
Kind regards,

Release notes say "Enable verify_xff_header by default." ... so related?
BTW: German language, but 172.32.17.1 is T-mobile USA ... how come?

Better workaround (for me):
- edit sabnzbd.ini
- changed local_ranges
Code: Select all
old: local_ranges = ,
new: local_ranges = 192.168.178.0/24, 172.0.0.0/8
- restart container

I just enabled that setting. Still same error.
No idea, why this happened out of the blue.

Docker uses the 172.16.0.0/16 network by default for its internal networking. I also extended it in my case to 172.32.0.0
EDIT:
UFFFF. 172.32.0.0 is indeed a puplic address. Huge mistake on my side. Thanks for that info!!!

Good. So working now?
If so: good that "Enable verify_xff_header by default." kicked in; SAB is now checking the real source IP address when a proxy is in between as seen in X-Forwarded-For

Yep, it's working again as expected, as soon as I changed the network address of my sabnzbd-container.
Was absolutely my fault!

Hell, yes!
Without sabnzbd (and you ofc) I would not recognized my error in networking. HUGE Thank you for that!
Keep up the good work! :-)
