Hi, 

In this doc https://www.akeeba.com/documentation/troubleshooter/atwafissues.html, it has the path to the main.php file. Specifically, "Go inside the plugins/system/admintools/admintools directory on your site (on older versions of Admin Tools: plugins/system/admintools). You will see a file named main.php. Rename it to main-disable.php. This will turn disable the Web Application Firewall from executing and you can access your site's back-end again."

I was trying to do my usual habit of disabling the file while I unblock my IP. But, today I discovered that there isn't a main.php file. Is something wrong with that?

Thanks,

Karen

You are reading the wrong documentation page. Please read https://www.akeeba.com/documentation/admin-tools-joomla/atwafissues.html. As you can see, since Joomla! 4.0 (two years, three months ago) there's a different file, services/provider.php.
