How to create privileged route to bypass DoS filter?
Whenever I attempt to backup my computer data to iDrive cloud servers, my Netgear Nighthawk X4S R7800 router at detects a DoS attack (ACK Scan) and blocks my network connection to the router until I reboot. Is it possible to create a privileged route between their IP address and my router or computer?

Have you tried to Disable Port Scan and DoS Protection?

Most of those reports of DoS attacks are false positives.
I would look elsewhere for the source of your problems.
What messages do you see when the router blocks the connection?
