Refused connection with hostname.....

Post by SeparateFiction »

I am continually seeing WARNING messages on my Sab account such as below (can't work out how to attach a picture).

This does not seem legit at all - any ideas what is going on?

This is happening during idle. When I do download something then it connects and maxes out no issues there.

This means:
* your SABnzbd is reachable from Internet, probably with no password set. NB: Even I can access your sab web interface! :o
* scanners / robots are approaching that SABnzbd interface

Things you should do: set a password on SABnzbd!
Things you could additionally do: put SABnzbd on a less known port: not 8080, but ... 8765, or 8642

Thanks for coming back to me - I will most certainly add a password !!

Looks like these scanners / robots from random websites are attempting to connect. What are they trying to achieve exactly?
