Netgear Armor Blocks Sudoku and Smartnews URLs

Question

Starting 3 days ago, Netgear Armor began blocking URLs when playing Sudoku and reading Smartnews on my iPhone: Sudoku: trk118.onnur.xyz; Smartnews: &nbsp;smartnews.link. &nbsp;I have been plaing Sudoku and reading Smartnews for years. &nbsp;Now, I'm getting upwards of 80 warnings within a 10 minute period about the identified links above. Why is Netgear Armor suddenly blocking these and how do I stop it?

That is what the log is showing. &nbsp;It has http:// in front of the URL and says it is SPAM.
