How do I turn off Armor/Bitdefender on my Orbi Router
I foolishly accepted trying Netgear's Armor by BitDefender on my Orbi Router mesh and it is now blocking long-used very safe sites that I urgently need for my work, yet there is not obvious way to ei...
Armor stinks, DO NOT USE IT! If it blocks a site that you may want, you cannot manage it. You have to submit a request to bitdefender to make the fix.
To add misery to the pain, now I have disabled Armor, but it is STILL blocking sites. Will try a reboot of my Orbi to see if that fixes it. If a reboot doesnt work, I am probably on my way to a factory reset to blow Armor settings out.
If you, your spouse or kids play games on a phone or tablet, Armor will label any of the "bonus" ads as spam and block them. Kids and wife were complaining all night last night.
I had to turn it off because it was affecting my upload speed. I have a FIOS connection with 200/200. With Armor on i was getting 30 mbs upload. As soon as i turned it off, 250 Mbs! It was also blocking my work VPN.
I AGREE. They force you to buy the bitdefender product. in case you opt for the trial by mistake or inadvertently, after its expiration, several sites and downloads including from Netflix will not work. When you go to the security button and click on it, it takes you directly to site for netgear to BUY!! WHY?!! someone should file a suit for misleading information and do a class action
