SABnzbd Forums

Hello everyone,

I need information to perform a check with Sabnzbd 0.5.4.

Via the newsgroups, in the configuration of reservations by enabling SSL. The application performs the encryption alone or should we install OpenSSL for encryption is done properly? Is there a way to verify that encryption is active and functional?

For information Sabnzbd I use a Synology NAS.

In advance thank you for your help.

SABnzbd requires the Python library PyOpenSSL to be installed.
That library needs OpenSSL as a pre-requisite.
When PyOpenSSL is a supported "package" for the OS, that's usually taken care of automatically.
By enabling SSL in SABnzbd and setting the right port number,
SABnzbd will use NNTPS for communication.
If that succeeds you can safely assume the connection is actually encrypted.
New servers do not negotiate protocols, so there is no silent fall-back to unencrypted connections.
