Is it causing issues?
When I search Support here and ask how to see the URLs Armor is blocking, it says:
To Unblock Websites in NETGEAR Armor:

- Tap Security - The NETGEAR Armor dashboard displays
- Tap Threats Blocked - A list of suspicious URLs NETGEAR blocked displays
- Tap on the URL that you want to whitelist
- Tap Add to Unblocked - A warning displays
- Tap OK
This is not true. All I ever get after clicking "Learn More" is "Malicious_host" and "OK".
This is NOT helpful AT ALL!
