Armor reports online "threat" when accessing router setup

Hello all, For some time now Armor consistently reports threats whenever accessing the router setup page, which I would hope has no threats associated.

 

Anyone else have a similar issue?

 

Thanks in advance.

    Been a long known issue with self signed certs with NG products. You can skip this warning. Browsers may overly detect these as critical or not meet browser standards as browsers are updated more frequently then routers are.

      Unfortunately not quite sure what you're referring to with "FW". Tried to think of what that may be and only "forward" comes to mind.

  • Does Armor complain every time?

     

    Which browser?

     

    Most hate the idea of connecting to an http site. They want https. But that isn't needed for local stuff.

     

    Browsers will try to keep you out, but there is usually an "escape hatch" at the bottom.
