Netgear Mesh MR70 Blocking Websites
I just got the mesh MR70 and Armor installed. Everything works great with the exception that it's blocking certain "legit" websites, such as Tesla.com. I disabled Armor and it still doesn't work. ...
Are you getting any specific errors when a website fails to load? Usually if Armor blocks a page, it intercepts the page load with a message informing you of what it did.
If some of the initial troubleshooting doesn't restore access to those specific sites, also check the following:
On the router page (router IP address, often 192.168.1.1), if you go to Advanced > Administration NTP Settings, is the date and time as well as time zone correct? If not correct those settings and try the site again, if the issue still happens there is a check you can try on a site that is not loading properly.
If the site loads enough to at least get the security certificate, then view the SHA-1 fingerprint of the certificate you are seeing.
You can find official fingerprints using this site. https://www.grc.com/fingerprints.htm
All major browsers should allow you to view the security certificate of a web page that it is attempting to load, often via an option in a lock icon that appears in the address bar.
For example, the official one for Tesla.com is 1B:5B:64:76:8B:F1:E5:4E:69:C4:60:36:F3:D5:27:9E:96:5B:43:24
If a page is not loading, and you are also seeing the wrong fingerprint, then it could be a security application (firewall, antivirus, etc) that is having issues with the network change.
