Hello nicholas,
I have a simular issue to a previous ticket:
( #9895 – paypal blocked by htaccess configuration )
HOWEVER not with VM, but rather a new ( BTW ) free storefront. called J2Store

I doubt you know of them as yet, but I did just want to get your thoughts.
I have had several IPN fail. Based on what I have seen here and on their site.
I have added /plugins/j2store/payment_paypal/payment_paypal/tmpl/notify.php
to the allowed with htacess maker.

If you are familiar with them, is there another file I need to allow ?
I couldnt find any reference of another on their site.

Also in the #9895 post, you spoke of disabling
Bad Behaviour Integration" and
CSRF
granted I should see what happens, but wanted to ask if this was a VM thing or a global for all stores
suggestion you have ?

I hope that makes sense, Thanks in advance...

I cannot possibly know how third party software works. You can ask J2Store developers to tell you which .php files need to have direct web access for the PayPal IPN to work.

Do NOT try to apply a solution for an unrelated issue on an unrelated component to your case. More so when you are referencing a ticket from 6 years ago. Even the way Admin Tools and VirtueMart work has radically changed in these six years.

Please note that if the files you need to allow are in the administrator folder you have to disable "Password-protect administrator folder". I personally consider software in need of that to be very likely problematic with regards to security but in the end of the day it's your site, your threat model and your risk assessment :)
