Patch shipped: v1.6.158 — OpenVPN setup fix + SABnzbd memory bump

Posted by tomspark

Two fixes just went out: 1. If your VPN provider uses OpenVPN (PIA, ExpressVPN, NordVPN-OpenVPN, etc.), the Media setup wizard was wrongly asking you to fill in WireGuard details and blocking the install. That's fixed — OpenVPN goes through cleanly now, and WireGuard providers (Surfshark, etc.) are unchanged. 2. SABnzbd was sometimes getting killed mid-download on bigger jobs because it ran out of memory. Gave it more headroom so it stops choking. Grab both with sudo sparkbox update. Thanks to everyone who flagged these!

Looks like this patch solved my Json issue with Gluetun. I think there's another issue with it now. when I choose Private Internet access from the dropdown menu in the vpn settings I think it sends the wrong value. I get this error in the VPN Tunnel. �2026-05-31T15:49:55.580209070Z 2026-05-31T15:49:55Z ERROR updater settings: VPN provider name is not valid: value is not one of the possible choices: privateinternetaccess must be one of airvpn, cyberghost, expressvpn, fastestvpn, giganews, hidemyass, ipvanish, ivpn, mullvad, nordvpn, perfect privacy, privado, private internet access, privatevpn, protonvpn, purevpn, slickvpn, surfshark, torguard, vpnsecure, vpn unlimited, vyprvpn or windscribe M2026-05-31T15:49:55.580259285Z 2026-05-31T15:49:55Z INFO Shutdown successful In the list of possible choices it lists it as private internet access but the choice used is privateinternetaccess.
