Administrator secret URL parameter is no longer securing the site and I dont know if this started after updating to 3.7.0 or if it was an issue prior to the update. I can still access the admin using my secret URL but I can also access it using the normal administrator link. Is there something different to how this work, what am I missing? Just so you know I have not disabled Admin Tools using the main.php file and everything else appears to be working fine. Also this is the Administrator secret URL parameter and not the Change administrator login directory parameter that I am experiencing this with.

Answered my own question by digging a bit deeper. I found that my IP was listed in the exceptions from blocking table. Did not think to look there before asking such a stupid question...;)

There's no such thing as a stupid question. Some are easier to answer than others.
