Sabnzbd not working on Synology

Hi all

Please help..

1. Synology 1815+ running latest DSM
2. Latest Sabnzbd
3. Sabnzbd running on port 8080

I have an issue with my ISP not working at all on my Synology running Sabnzbd. The message I get with test server is "invalid server address". I thought I might need a VPN so I installed expressVPN as described on how to set up ExpressVPN on Synology. I also tried disabling manual IP to DHCP...no luck.

The VPN does connect and then immediately disconnect. Then does not want to reconnect.

I also thought it might be the ISP but it runs fine at max speed on my laptop with ExpressVPN no hassle. I tried another ISP but that also does not work with VPN on synology and also gives same error message.

I am convinced this might be a Synology problem since Sabnzbd runs perfectly with ExpressVPN on my laptop but I thought I would ask for help here before I go to Synology forums in case someone can help.

Any help would be appreciated since I have to get this working...

I think the Synology forums will be of better help, we only know SAB-related things!

The message I get with test server is "invalid server address".
So what did you fill out as server address?

If you click on the wrench symbol (upper right corner SAB GUI): what are the first 4 lines saying?
