Netgear-RS700
My Netgear-RS700 Armor software seems to constantly tell me that my Google WiFi has been scanned and no issues are found, yet I get messages that Google WiFi was bocked trying to connect to random s...
If thats the case, try putting the 2nd router in the RS routers DMZ. Help avoid some double NAT issues.
No much we can do with Armor and notifications. Fairly limited. If your on Trial Armor, let it run out and don't use it if you feel it's not working for you.
I think I understand what you're saying, but not understanding what that might have to do with the alerts to random sites like I typed out previously. I paid for the Netgear Armor for a year and I'm glad it blocks things, but it does nothing to help identify the sources. It really does no good to simply say it blocked something and ask if I want to allow or keep it blocked when I don't know the source of the packets being sent. Not your worry, I know. Thanks though, I appreciate the responses.
Try the info for unblocking URLs to see if that helps:

I'm not sure if you meant to send that to me or not, but if you did, I don't understand your logic.
Unblocking the URL's would go against the principal of blocking them and potentially open vulnerabilities.
I'm surprised you're the only one that responded to my question and props to you for at least trying.
Netgear simply needs to do a better job with Armor. At least give users some useful information rather than just showing a URL that was blocked on a specified network but not the hostname or IP or the source. When you have a lot of devices like I do, that little bit information is vital.
Thanks again for trying, but apparently nobody, not even Netgear support knows how to address this concern.
Reason for posting that is that sometimes Armor blocks some sites that users may want to not have blocked. So this is one path for those users. Your choice to try it or not.
Contact Armor/NG Support about further information regarding what your trying to do then. App may not be suitible for everyones needs or desires. Not much we can do about that here in the forums. People who develope this don't visit the forums much, if at all. So best to make direct contact with them.
Good Luck.
