RBK53S - Armor is randomly blocking connections to Synology NAS
Since upgrading the operating system (DSM) on my Synology NAS from v6 to v7 Armor is randomly blocking outgoing / incoming connections to the NAS which means I can't access any systems hosted on the ...
You could try going on and seeing if its blocking a certain site thats causing the issue.

Alas no it's not - when the issue occurs it blocks all traffic internet from / to the NAS; http, https, VPN, remote connectivity, Maria DB, Apache, everything.
And before anyone asks all the corect port forwarding is in place. I've been running the Orbi / NAS pefectly for 8 months with no problems until I uplifted the NAS OS to the latest verison and then Armor decided to randomly block access.
Anyone any further thoughts?
What firmware version are you on?
What modem/gateway are you connecting to?
Latest firmware 2.7.3.22, the Orbi is connecting to Draytek Vigopr 130 modem. The NAS is wired to the ORbi.
Network setup / Topology is ISP -> [Draytek 130 modem] --(Hard-wired)--> [Orbi RKB53S] <--(Hard-wired) --[NAS].
It is worth mentioning this all worked perfectly until I did the NAS OS upgrade from v6 to v7.
I have MS63 system and have the EXACT issues 3-10 times per day. ONLY when Armor is on.
Love to see the fix!!!
Indeed, raise a ticket with Netgear Suport and tell them it is the same as my issue, ticket 45188388
Ok mine seems to have started to behave appropriately.
I converted all DNS settings in the router and the NAS to OpenDNS.
Rebooted the router.
Turned off Armor for 36hrs
Turned Armor back on, everything has been happy now for 4 days.
Keeping fingers crossed this fix lasts.
Good luck.
