How to disable / deactivate Armor on RBR50?

Hey team, I've enabled Armor on my Orbi RBR50 but decided I no longer wish to use it, is there a way to remove it without needing to factory reset the entire device

Why is there no way to whitlist a URL?! Why is there no straight forward avenue to uninstall Armor?! Why is it so difficult to find the OFF button for Armor and does it even actually turn it off?!

Hi pizza_pablo, welcome to the community! The link below allows you to submit a URL to Bitdefender for whitelisting.

Also, here is the link for the steps on how to enable/disable Armor.

  Hi my post above tells you why I think that's stupid.
  
  It's already turned off.
  Please tell me how to uninstall it.

  Hi pizza_pablo, thank you you for responding. The Armor feature is part of the firmware and can't be uninstalled. Turning Armor off also disables all of its features.

    Is there a way to factory reset the router and not accept the Armor software?
