Can't connect Radarr/Sonarr to SABnzbd

Hey,
I've had the following issue when trying to add SABnzb as a download client on both Radarr and Sonarr.
Test was aborted due to an error: Unable to connect to SABnzbd, HTTP request failed: [403:Forbidden] [GET] at [http://192.168.1.229:8080/api?mode=get_ ... utput=json]
On SABnzbd I get the following notification
Refused connection from: ::ffff:172.60.0.1 [Radarr/5.26.2.10099 (alpine 3.22.1)]
I had set up YAMS earlier this week and it worked fine, but I had to reinstall my proxmox onto a new drive and I've not managed to get it working since.
Thanks!

Hey @luke!
Try using gluetun
as your hostname instead of the IP address of your host.
Cheers!
Roger.

Thanks for the quick reply!
Assuming I changed the hostname at the right place, it still doesn't seem to work :/

Yes, that's the right place!
I just remembered something, you might need to add your host in the host_whitelist

I've gone through the linked thread and changed the host in SABnzbd, still getting the same error and refused connection notification on the SABnzbd homepage.
It also looks like when I try restart SABnzbd as mentioned in the thread it crashes not only my ubuntu VM but the entire Proxmox VE.

Does that happen only with SABnzbd? If it crashes your host and your hypervisor, I'm not sure this is a problem with YAMS directly. Did you make any changes? Do you have enough resources?
