Dear Sir,

After latest Joomla update I notice lots of requests today to www.sitename.com/administrator from 54.x.x.x IP addresses.

Going in WPF / Config WAF, I see the Warning and change according to the instructions “In order to use this feature you have to enable the Search Engine Friendly URLs and Use URL rewriting options inside Joomla configuration page.”

So, I try to login back end via www.sitename.com/administrator/index.php?xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (secret word) and send me back to the front end (http://www.sitename.com ).

What to do to be able to login backend as SA without sending me back to front end and keep all the snoopers send to the front end?

Thanks for your support and great work

The instructions for temporarily disabling Admin Tools' WAF via FTP are here: https://www.akeebabackup.com/documentation/troubleshooter/atwafissues.html. That will get you back in to the back end and you can double check your secret word in the Admin Tools setup. It looks like you are calling the right address. You will get a "corrupted" warning as long as main.php is renamed, this is expected.

Mr. Dale,

Thanks for your support. The main idea of the question was ...
How to forward to www.example.com/something all the requests from backend except SAdmin.

Thanks again for your support and contribution.
