I'm having the same issue -
I've white listed the IPs of all my containers that need this as a downloader didn't help, i tried listing them as the container name and respective ips
other mentioned set a ip range - all that did was kick me out and I had to edit the file to get back in - It's been a pretty horrible night trying to get this to work and the 2 solutions that ive seen have not worked for me. any help is greatly appreciated

Hey @kazz!
Please, send the logs. It's almost impossible to help you debug without reading some logs. Also, make sure you have added gluetun
to the list of allowed hosts.
Cheers!

Re: Unable to configure SABnzbd within Sonarr, Radarr etc
Im sitting here at work retracing my steps - im not Ubuntu/Linux expert but I think I recall running Sudo ufw enable - thus enabling the firewall before doing any of the installation - I want to try to turn that off and see if it doesn't let me connect - once I get home I'll reply with logs and such but if you have any insight that would be much appreciated.

Re: Unable to configure SABnzbd within Sonarr, Radarr etc
Hey @kazz!
Thank you for such detailed logs. We just found this bug today on the documentation, so this is the fix:
In SABnzbd, can you enable "External Internet Access" to "Full API"?
That should fix the problem!
Cheers!
Roger.
