EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: Please attach a ZIP file containing your Akeeba Backup log file in order for us to help you with any backup or restoration issue. If the file is over 2Mb, please upload it on your server and post a link to it.

Description of my issue: Am experienced with Akeeba Backup, but am doing some major site renovation on wamp server. Upon restoring I get "We have detected a possible security violation caused by your request." because I rewrote the Security Exception message in Admin Tools (used to be "Are you feeling lucky?" I believe. I've tried ticking mod_headers and mod_rewrite, restarting wamp to no avail. Have tried deleting .htaccess. have gone through the Trouble shooting a couple of times. When I reboot, I can get into the front end briefly, then I get this error. Thanks for your help, Nick. And greetings from the Melbourne Joomla Users Group (Australia), which I regularly attend.

Hello Howard,

so, just to be 100% sure, your issue regards Admin Tools, right?
Did you enabled the Geo Blocking feature or your blacklist contains you current (local) ip?

This means that you have to add some exceptions to your .htaccess file.
Please take a look at this page of the documentation for further information.
