My Orbi won't allow me to unblock a legitimate website

My Bridge club has sent me 2 specific personal links to the Realbridge website.  My Orbi blocks this as spam everytime i try and access the link.  When I select the URL to be added to my UNBLOCKED  list , the Orbi adds it to the  UNBLOCKED list but immediately blocks my attempts to access the website.  I can't play at my local virtual bridge until this is resolved and my phone support with Orbi has just expired.  I feel so fed up as i keep going round in loop.  Can anyone in the support community help me please?

    Do you have Armor activated? If so deactivate it. If not, check your own protection software, as the Orbi does not block websites unless you tell it to or have Armor activated.
