Every time I log out from the admin I get a security exception :
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Hello,

We would like to notify you that a security exception was detected on your site, xxxxxxxxxxxxx, with the following details:

IP Address: xxxxxxxxxxxxx (IP Lookup: IP Lookup)
Reason: Admin directory

If this kind of security exception repeats itself, please log in to your site's back-end and add this IP address to your Admin Tools's Web Application Firewall feature in order to completely block the misbehaving user.

Best regards,


PS:

xxxxxxxxxx Banned IP
IP Lookup Direct link to the ip lookup service

In order not to lock out myself from my site, I added an exception for my home-IP.

Hello,

that's the expected behavior: when you logout, Joomla destroys the session, clears the cookie and redirects you to the standard /administrator page, we can't do anything about that since it's entirely handled by Joomla itself.
Please increase the number of security exceptions required to ban the user.
