RBR 50; Keep getting ORBI alerts, Dangerous URL blocked.
So, I have a RBR 50 with two wired satellites. I have the ORBI app on my phone. Every time I go on REDDIT I get a notification of a DANGEROUS URL blocked. Doesn't happen on any other web sites. I do have AD BLOCK if that matters. Thank you and be well!
From a previous POST:
What Firmware version is currently loaded? 2.5.1.16
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too? ARRIS TM1602
Do you have Armor or Circle enabled? Armor Enabled
Where are you seeing these notifications? On the app on my Android phone. Seems to happen when browsing the web site REDDIT.
WEBSITE being blocked is as follows: https://cdn.ayc0zsm69431.gfebd.xyz/
It than says that it is found on my macbook pro.

Hi sandman512,
First, I would recommend updating the firmware on your RBR50 as you are a couple versions behind. Second, here's an article on more info as to what NETGEAR Armor blocks. Seems to be that there is something stemming from reddit causing this. Have you reached out to reddit?

Christian,
Thanks for the reply. So, just updated the FIRMWARE, so we'll see how that goes. I have not reached out to REDDIT.
