AppArmor cannot be deactivated once the subscription ran out

Question

Hi,&nbsp;as I upgraded my pihole I have seen that all the requests come from the Router instead of the clients.Then I remembered, that the Orbi acts as DNS Proxy as long as AppArmor is activated. So I wanted to disable it again and as the licence ran out, I dont find a way to change this behavior back to "normal", so that each client gets the pihole DNS in its dynamic IP "offer".&nbsp;Seems this setting to deactivate is only available if the subscription is active.

You can disable Armor in the Orbi app under Settings/Security/

Not if the subscription ran out... then you only get the page to make a new subscription. Thats the problem.

Ok, have you powered OFF the RBR then back ON? if the sub expired then this should disable armor on the system.&nbsp;
Might try a factory reset of the system and then setup from scratch with a ethernet connected PC and not the Orbi app.&nbsp;
This would clear out any Armor features left behind.&nbsp;

On/Off doesnt help, had a power outage yesterday, so I am pretty sure..And yes, a factory reset should help, but this can at least be seen as bug report.
