Sonnar suddenly stopped grabbing releases

I have a newznab provider that has been serving me well for some time now. My Sonnar configuration hasn’t changed at all. The only recent modification to my system is the installation of Avast and Malwarebytes, which for the purposes of diagnostics have been uninstalled.

System is Windows 10. I have forwarded port 59315 in my gateway/modem and router as well as created a Windows Firewall exception. portchecker still shows the port as closed. Unsure if related.

Sabnzbd+ and the newznab provider are both functioning as normal (I can manually search for releases and download them into my watched folder for Sonarr inclusion).

This is my log file:

Something has setup a proxy, likely malware. Plenty of others have had the same issue previous, some have been able to remove it, others ended up re-installing Windows.

Thanks for the info.

I did have some malware that I got rid of and I haven’t had issues since. Apparently this may be a residual effect. Now I need to find out how to repair damage as I really don’t want to have to do a clean install.
