For some reason I keep getting 'connection refused' when trying to tunnel to the SAB webinterface, even though I'm forwarding to regular http and I can access it directly over the network just fine, using that same port.
PuTTY with local port forwarded to 192.168.0.50:8085 -> Raspbian server -> SABnzbd (or a second SABnzbd OpenSUSE server on a different forwarded port)
Subsequently using http://127.0.0.50:8085 in my client's browser results in an ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED. Can reach both SAB servers without SSH, using their internal IPs from that same machine though.
I can also telnet to those ports from either server to themselves and to eachother using their 192.168 addresses, so I'm a bit confused as to why a port forward wouldn't work as for as far as I know SAB should only see the Raspbian initiating the connection.
Does anyone have this setup working?

- Adhere to the forum rules.
- Do you experience problems during downloading?
Check your connection in Status and Interface settings window.
Use Test Server in Config > Servers.
We will probably ask you to do a test using only basic settings. - Do you experience problems during repair or unpacking?

Re: SSH tunneling to web interface
I'm surprised... No one uses an SSH tunnel with SAB?
Re: SSH tunneling to web interface
I have OpenVPN running on an Ubuntu box, pretty much out of the box, and it works.
No experience with PuTTY for the same purpose.

Re: SSH tunneling to web interface
It's quite confusing, RDP for example can easily be forwarded, and http traffic isn't exactly rocket science.
I was hoping for a simple transit from a full windows remote desktop over SSH to access all local resources, to accessing just SAB remotely (so I can significantly cut down on power usage, got a bit of a bill this year). But perhaps I'll have to have a look at OpenVPN on Raspbian. Or resort to runlevel 5 on that little electronic credit card and tunnel VNC, come to think of it

Re: SSH tunneling to web interface
Why not just forward port 8080 to your Raspi-with-SAB so that you access SAB's webinterface?

That's one of the things in the first post that strangely won't work...
Re: SSH tunneling to web interface
You do realize you do NOT need SSH to access the web interface, and you need port forwarding?MiG wrote:That's one of the things in the first post that strangely won't work...
Re: SSH tunneling to web interface
I'll reiterate: I use SSH to provide a secure tunnel to my home network when I'm at work or travelling, and I've set up port forwards to access specific services over said tunnel (as I do not want to open anything other than the SSH daemon up towards the internet). This works fine for RDP for example, but not for SABnzbd / http(s) for some reason. I have a few alternatives now, but it just baffles me why this supposedly simple setup won't work so I'd like to figure out where it goes wrong.sander wrote:You do realize you do NOT need SSH to access the web interface, and you need port forwarding?MiG wrote:That's one of the things in the first post that strangely won't work...
