 I just installed the admin pro tools in my website, coppying the exact same settings that I have in my 3 other websites.

The problem is that although i log in using the secret url, when i navigate in the administrator panel, it keeps sending admin query string alerts form my IP and then blocking me.

There is only 1 thing I did differently this time, if this helps you.

When restoring the site using akeeba, in Angie, I filled the live url field with "http://www.mastersol.gr" although I usualy leave this blank. Would that make a difference and create a problem?

Hello Thomas,

usually that problem is caused by a third party plugin that is trying to load some files from the backend and is not using the secret param.
I'd suggest you to take a look at them.

By the way, which browser are you using? Sometimes it (or some else browser extension) will try to fetch the screenshot of your site, raising a security exception.

The Live URL option should not affect the secret param feature, however to be 100% sure please try to set it to blank and try again.
Please be aware that under some server settings, Joomla needs the live_site param: if your site is acting "weird", please fill it again.

For some reason, this was happening in my workplace PC, and in my home it works perfectly. How is that possible...

Are you using the same browser?
Most likely your work PC has one or more extension that tries to grab a screenshot of the admin page, raising a security exception
