Can I white list a program that needs full Internet access?
I have a Nighthawk CAX30 but for some reason, that is not an option for the "Model" field above.
I suspect that my Netgear Nighthawk is blocking (or stalling) a program that I use, Scrapebox, from accessing (testing) IP addresses. However, I'm not entirely sure that it is the cause of the problem.
Basically, what Scrapebox is doing is pulling a list of proxies and then verifying whether the proxies work. Each proxy is an IP so that's why I think Nighthawk might be the cause of the problem by blocking the IPs.
I'd like to know if there's a way that I can give Scrapebox complete access?
Thanks!

its not exactly safe but you can put whatever device you're running the program on into the router's dmz.

Like you said, it probably be dangerous because then every my computer running Scrapebox wouldn't have a firewall. Thanks.

This can happen when you put messages in the wrong section. The CAX30 is a WiFi 6 Cable Modem Router. This place is for General WiFi Routers (Non-Nighthawk and Non-Orbi).
While many questions about routers are generic and could be answered anywhere, some things need specialist knowledge.
You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:
Cable Modems & Routers
In the meantime you could visit the support pages:
Support | NETGEAR
Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware. Look at the label on the device for the model number.
You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.
I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.
