Armor is Blocking a Website I need for Work
Hi,
Up until yesterday I had no problem with a website that I login into for work. This morning when I tried I got the following error:
Stop!
Netgear Armor has blocked this website for your protection, it might contain malware, phishing, fraud attempt, or other forms of criminal...
We suggest you go back to safety
I would also get the following pop-up on my Orbi App:
Privacy Threat Blocked
Netgear Armor has detected that your computer is sending unencrypted authentication information and blocked that page.
When I click 'unblock URL' it says the URL was unblocked successfully but won't let me proceed to the website.
The only thing that fixed it was disabling Netgear Armor but I don't want that as the long-term solution, what else can I do?

I am having the same issue.
I was able to access the website yesterday, but not today.
Even after adding the website to the Unblock URL, it continues to block the website.
The firmware did update today to version V4.6.3.7_2.0.49. I'm wondering if there is a bug in the new version.
