## Description

SABnzbd is a free, open-source Usenet binary newsreader written in Python that automates downloading, filtering, and archiving of .nzb files. This Docker image bundles SABnzbd with OpenVPN and WireGuard for a secure, private connection, using iptables to prevent IP leakage when the tunnel is down, and includes Privoxy for unfiltered access to Usenet index sites. Ideal for homelab users who want automated Usenet downloads without exposing their real IP address.
