Having trouble with external access

I’d like to access nzbget outside my LAN, like I do my other usenet web apps. Here’s what I did:

Opened port 6789 on the firewall and on Windows advanced firewall. Same as I did with the others.

But when I try that the web page just spins for ages and times out.

There are some settings related to this but having trouble figuring out what to put in those fields.

A little help?

If you can access nzbget from another computer in your local network (for example from a phone), then nzbget and Windows are configured properly. Now you need to configure your router to pass requests from the Internet to your Windows PC.

Ah so good clarity there. I actually cannot access it via another computer on the local network. Sorry for not describing that well. I can however access all my other services: Radarr, sab, sonarr, etc.

How option "ControlIP" in NZBGet is set? It should not be 127.0.0.1. If it is - change it to 0.0.0.0.
If it still doesn't work the issue is definitely in Firewall settings.

Before I had the actual internal IP. I changed it 0’s and still can’t access it. I’ll try firewall rules again.

Oh damn, windows firewall or something else apparently reacted and created it’s own blocking rules. I changed them to allow and now I’m accessing it. Thank you!
