 Now that I've installed and configured Admin Tools Pro, how do I test that it's working?

You can check the Security Exceptions Log under the Web Applications Firewall option to see what access attempts have been blocked by Admin Tools.

It is not possible to view a list of what .htaccess blocks since that is a low level Apache function.

You can also "attack" your site to make sure you can't do anything that you're not supposed to do. Note that IPs in the whitelist are allowed to do whatever they desire. Note also that the instructions for unblocking your IP address are here: https://www.akeebabackup.com/documentation/troubleshooter/atwafissues.html.

I tried to attack my site with [url]/index.php?%20union, but I didn't get blocked. Any suggestions? I've followed the Quick Setup for Admin Tools Pro and created the .htaccess file.

First make sure the "SQLiShield protection against SQL injection attacks" option is enabled in the Configure WAF page. Then note that just a %20union won't do anything. Your attack has to look like a SQL query. For starters, it has to be the value of a query parameter (yours is just the name of the query parameter). For example: http://www.example.com/index.php?dummy=test%20UNION%20SELECT
