First go to Admin Tools, Web Application Firewall, Configure WAF. Make sure "Log security exceptions" is set to Yes; if it's not, set it to Yes and click on Save. Now try reproducing your issue. Immediately after that, please go to Admin Tools, Web Application Firewall, Security Exceptions Log and go to the last page. The last log entry should have the date and time of when the issue occurred. Please copy the Reason and Target URL here so that I can help you.

Go to Web Application Firewal, WAF Exceptions (not Security Exceptions Log!) and click on the New button. Leave all fields blank except the Component. In there type:
com_easyblog
and click on Save & Close.

You may have to delete the entries in the Security Exceptions Log and the Automatic IP Ban Administration page as well.

I will give it some time to test it, would it make a difference if i was logging into the easy blog from the joomla login instead of the easy blog login
