AppArmor cannot be deactivated once the subscription ran out
Hi, 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...

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.

I am in the opposite position. I do have an Armor subscription. But it does not show up on the Nighthawk app. Like you I get an invitation to subscribe.
In my case, the thing is complicated by the fact that I have two routers that I manage with the Android app. They are on two separate Internet services.
The NETGEAR Armor powered by Bitdefender page shows that one router has an expired Trial subscription. The other router has an active subscription. It wasn't my choice to link one router with the subscription. Netgear seems to have done this by checking my devices on MyNetgear.
Logging into the Nighthawk app, which promises to control both routers, the Security tile shows an Expired Armor subscription. No way of getting it to see that there is also an active subscription. And, as you have found, no way to get the Armor page to forget the expired trial.
