"Armor" suddenly turned itself on?

I've had a Orbi 370 system for a few weeks now, everything has been working fine, suddenly a site I regularly access is now "blocked" because "Armor" got switched on somehow and decided it was dangerous.  And there's no way to turn it off through the web interface?  Packing this thing up and returning it.  Absolutely absurd.

    Its pretty easy to disable from the app. Install the app, disable it, and then just delete the app. 

    I don't like when stuff is "auto-enabled" either and it should be able to be disabled from the GUI.

      Both of these are wrong.  The there is no "cancel subscription" button in the "services" section because it looks like I have a "trial" that started itself without asking me when I signed up for "my netgear" (which I guess is my big mistake here).

       

      and that 2nd link says nothing about using the webUI.  I shouldn't need to install an app to access this function, the fact that netgear specifically left this out of the webui as a way to force me to install the app is ridiculous.  I'm sick of downloading apps.

        Sorry, my bad...  I've never opted into Armor, so not something I've needed to do myself.

         

        I agree that all the controls should be in the web ui.
