    Is Router Technical support legit?


    Hi so I'm trying to port forward my Minecraft server. Someone suggested to bridge my router and I looked up how to do that and this site came up with the answer but the page was not showing up and there was a chat window open so I told the person my problem and they said there going need remote support so I am wondering if they are legit?
    This the link to the website hxxps://www.routertechnicalsupport.com/why-can-t-i-connect-to-my-arris-router-settings-page
    Also if you have any idea on helping me my other for port fowarding is here Help Port forwarding Will not work

    Highly suspicious. When the first thing that some random person on the Internet wants to do is take control of your system, that's a bad sign . Run away!

    If the support is from The MFG of your Router it would be OK but not just some guy on The Net..
