Hi,
I am experiencing some issues when I do not enable administrator access to IPs in Whitelist. When I try to access the administration of the via /administrator I am redirected to the front page and after 3 attempts I am blacklisted. Is there a simple way or a setting to avoid being blacklisted and access the administration without activating the whitlist? Thank you for your help and have a nice day.
Best Regards,
Audrey.

Hello,

from what you're describing, it seems that you enabled the Administrative Secret Param feature, but you forget to use it.
It is enabled by default when you run the Quickstart Wizard. You have to get inside the Configure WAF page and then write it down or change it to something that you can remember. More info here: https://www.akeebabackup.com/documentation/admin-tools/web-application-firewall.html#waf-configure
