Hi guys,
the "Cloaking page" seem to don't be updated, so I'm little bit confused:

If in my Helix Ultimate 1.0.2 template framework, I enable the "Basic > Coming Soon" feature:
- When the site configuration is set to offline is Okay
- When the site configuration is set to online, I have back a 403 error by Admin Tools in the HU Preview and in the site

To have it work I have to set:
Admin Tools 5.0.2 > WAF > Configure WAF > Cloaking > Block tmpl=foo system template switch: No
(One of the lesser known Joomla! features are its system templates. Whenever an error occurs or you put your site offline, Joomla! loads the respective system template. Passing the name of the template in the URL by appending, say, ?tmpl=offline allows you to test those templates without having to actually produce an error or put your site off-line. Enabling this option will turn off this hidden Joomla! feature. Do note that tmpl=system and tmpl=component must be permitted (see next option), as they are required by some extensions to work.)

Is it normal to set it "No" ?!?
Please, in the AkeebaBackup point of view, How to set up the "Admin Tools 5.0.2 > WAF > Configure WAF > Cloaking" page to run properly with Helix Ultimate and SP Page Builder ?

Many Thanks for support and help on understanding it

Hello,

the problem is quite simple. Most likely they use a non standard tmpl keyword.
Please review your security Exception log, there should be a record about you being block, with the reason tmpl= in URL. What's the value used for the parameter tmpl?
Please add it in the list of allowed templates, in Admin Tools WAF Configuration page, that should do the trick.
