AppArmor cannot be deactivated once the subscription ran out

[allesschonweg]

Hi,

as I upgraded my pihole I have seen that all the requests come from the Router instead of the clients.

Then I remembered, that the Orbi acts as DNS Proxy as long as AppArmor is activated. So I wanted to disable it again and as the licence ran out, I dont find a way to change this behavior back to "normal", so that each client gets the pihole DNS in its dynamic IP "offer".

Seems this setting to deactivate is only available if the subscription is active.

You can disable Armor in the Orbi app under Settings/Security/

Not if the subscription ran out... then you only get the page to make a new subscription. Thats the problem.

Ok, have you powered OFF the RBR then back ON? if the sub expired then this should disable armor on the system. 

Might try a factory reset of the system and then setup from scratch with a ethernet connected PC and not the Orbi app. 

This would clear out any Armor features left behind.

On/Off doesnt help, had a power outage yesterday, so I am pretty sure..

And yes, a factory reset should help, but this can at least be seen as bug report.
