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.
