How To Stop Netgear Armor Vulnerability Scan on a device
The Netgear Armor scan is wasting paper on my printer. Apparently it does it's weekly scan, and the printer thinks a print job is starting. I want to disable the internal scan at least for that dev...
Note: My previous case number was 41914844. It also happened two more times earlier in the day. Two of the three pages have the error code:
HEAD / HTTP/1.1
Host: 192.168.1.186:9999
User-Agent : curl/7.59.0
Accept: */*
The other page has the following error:
OPTIONS * RTSP/1.0
CSeq: 1
User-Agent: curl/7.59.0
