Description of my issue:
Until now I used a custom .htaccess file in my administrator directories of my client's websites. I use a simple IP check. When I need to add of change this I log in to my server and add/modify this .htaccess file.
Now I bought Admin Tools Pro. I would like to use this component to protect the admin login in the same way. I removed the .htacces in the administrator directory. I changed the setting in Admin Tools (WAF) to 'Allow administrator access only to IPs in Whitelist' --> YES. And I added my IP to the whitelist.
Seems to work OK. When I try to access the backend from another IP I get redirected to the website frontend.
Now my question: I do not have a static (fixed) Ip address from my internet provider. I does not change much, but it could. When it does, I am blocked from my site. right? So how do I add my new IP to the whitelist when this happens? Or do I just delete/replace the .htaccess in my website root with the default Joomla .htaccess?
Thanks!
