Bypass VPN setting for API access

Sending to SAB from an index site works when I have VPN turned off on my host, but doesn't work when I enable VPN. The VPN lets me set up bypass lists, but I can't figure out what URL to enter to bypass the VPN for SABnzbd API integration.

I think this used to work using the url http://[localhost]:[local port] in the bypass list (replacing with actual values). Has something changed in SAB and is there a way to do this?

Why use that at all? It's difficult. Easier to let SAB use the RSS site of your indexer, and specifically the RSS of your cart at the indexer.

No need to worry anymore about VPN or no VPN.

Thanks for that. I've been using the API for a long time so hadn't looked into using RSS.

I was only using Send to SAB for movies, as I've been using Sonarr for awhile without any problems for shows. So I thought I would also try Radarr. It also works well, is easy to use, and has some nice features beyond what RSS gives you.
