I notice that even when I have SSL disabled, it still starts and listens on that port. You can see in the screenshot below, it’s disabled, but the netstat output shows it’s still opening that port:
<img src=>
$ netstat -p tcp -ant | grep 9898
tcp4 0 0 *.9898 . LISTEN
I also noticed that if I delete the SSL port that NZBDrone fails to start and I need to go edit .config/NZBDrone/config.xml and add a port back in to get it to start back up.
