As a Joomla 4 developer with marginal skills I find your Backup and Administrative extensions very helpful--even though my understanding of all of their nuances is not very deep.

There is one issue I would appreciate help on.  How do I set up the Administrative Tools so I can access them when away from my usual desktop at home base without running into IP Blocking.  Typically I find I have to FTP the Joomla site, disable the provider.php module, then lookup and add the IP address of the away from home host.  Then remember to delete it after use. There must be a more general and simpler way to do this.

Thanks,

Dave

First, we need to know why you are being blocked. Please go to Components, Admin Tools for Joomla!, Web Application Firewall, Configure WAF, Blocked Requests Log. Find your IP address which was blocked. What is the Target URL and Reason listed for it?
