Armor Blocking Sites - How to Unblock?
How do you allow specific sites that Netgear Armor is blocking?
Hi mimsOrbi, welcome to the community! You can check the link below to submit the URL/site to Bitdefender.

The problem with this DexterJB is that the user simple DOESN'T KNOW on which foot to dance. ARMOR/BitDefender is blocking the sites. Would it not be up to them to tell the user why it's being blocked with some form of documentation? I had a similar situation with the bank I deal with and could ever get a straight answer from anyone. To simply ask the user to whitelist the site is NOT a solution, since the user is uneasy about making that choice. What is that URL is a deceitful URL masking its true identiy?
To simply ask users to whitelist those ALERTS is a copout! Sorry!
I would be satisfied it I could unblock a site, but I see no place to do that , in router security settings. I see where to block a site, but no where to list sites to allow.
I reckon the next step is to find out how to disable Netgear Armor.
Hi pizza_pablo . You can unblock a specific site by submitting it to Bitdefender. DexterJB included a link to the web site in an earlier post. I am still a little uneasy about this, because the user is left with the decision to un-block a site which, by all appearance, is legit. But then again, that's all malware tricks users. So for me, a nice improvement would be for Bitdefender to add to include notes when it choses to block a site to explain WHY it chosed to do so. I've had web sites rejected too; and when I checked with BD, the answer was:"Do you think it should be whitelisted?" thus again squarely throwing the ball back to the user -- why not tell the user exactly WHY THEY ARE BLOCKING the sites?
