Protect your Joomla site’s /administrator area from relentless attacks with "System - AdminExile," a free, battle-tested plugin that once reigned as the #1 security extension in the Joomla Extension Directory. Though eclipsed by tools like AdminTools Pro (which offers similar functionality for a fee), AdminExile remains a robust, no-cost solution to safeguard your backend from drive-by and brute force attacks—keeping honest users honest and everyone else out!
How It Works
Without protection, anyone can target your /administrator login by simply typing “/administrator,” opening the door to easy exploitation. "System - AdminExile" puts a stop to that with URL access keys (query parameters), transforming your login URL into a fortress. Configure it to require a key (e.g.,?boofwang) or a key-value pair (e.g.,?boofwang=sadham), and only that exact URL grants access. Unauthorized attempts? Redirect them to your homepage, a 404 error, or even a playful diversion like nsa.gov or a massive file download (e.g., a Linux ISO)—it’s both secure and fun!

Unrivaled Protection, Proven Results
Check the 24-hour activity graph of richeyweb.com (updated live every 5 minutes above)—you’ll see waves of attacks, sometimes hundreds or thousands per hour, targeting /administrator. AdminExile stops them all, silently logging failures without giving attackers feedback, causing them to give up in frustration. I’ve kept my server exposed to capture this data, using long, non-guessable keys to stay safe, but you can lock it down tighter with features like IPv4/6 CIDR whitelists and blacklists.
A Modern AdminExile for Joomla 5
With version 5, I’ve completely rewritten "System - AdminExile" using modern Joomla internals, making it faster, more reliable, and bug-free. I uncovered and fixed an unreported issue: without a key value set, the old version allowed authentication with any value—now, it fails as expected. I’ve also streamlined the plugin by removing features I never loved, like brute force detection (better handled by tools like Fail2Ban), frontend blocking, and link recovery, which were cumbersome or redundant. What’s left is a lean, focused tool for /administrator protection, free with no Pro version—ever.
Why Choose System - AdminExile?
This plugin exists for one mission: to shield your /administrator login page. It prevents session cookies, offers a re-entry period after logout, and logs failures, all while staying lightweight and Joomla 5-native. Whether you’re a small site or a high-target platform, AdminExile delivers peace of mind without a price tag.
Features
- /administrator key and/or key+value URL Protection
- Prevent /administrator session cookie
- Re-entry period after logout
- Failure Logging
- IPv4/6 Whitelist with CIDR capability
- IPv4/6 Blacklist with CIDR capability

Frequently Asked Questions:
What is the advantage of a 404 message rather than an error message?
Showing 404 may confuse an attacker, or a bot. If they expect to see an HTML page but receive a 404 response, it may cause problems for their process.
What is CIDR?
Classless Inter-Domain Routing is a fancy way of saying - a range of IP addresses. Instead of defining each individual white or black listed address, you can specify a range that encompasses many tens, hundreds, or even thousands of addresses.
What does System - AdminExile do?
System - AdminExile protects your Joomla /administrator login by requiring URL access keys, blocking unauthorized attempts with redirects or errors, keeping your backend secure from brute force and drive-by attacks.
Is System - AdminExile free to use?
Yes, it’s completely free! AdminExile offers robust security features with no paid version, making it accessible to all Joomla users.
How does AdminExile protect my /administrator area?
It uses unique URL keys (e.g., ?boofwang or ?boofwang=sadham) to restrict access, redirecting unauthorized attempts to your homepage, a 404, or another URL, ensuring only authorized users can log in.
What’s new in the Joomla 5 version?
The Joomla 5 rewrite (v5) is faster, more reliable, and bug-free, fixing an issue with key-value checks. It removes outdated features like brute force detection, focusing on core /administrator protection.
Can AdminExile block brute force attacks?
While it once included brute force detection, that feature has been removed in v5, as tools like Fail2Ban handle it better. AdminExile now focuses on URL key protection and access control.
How do I configure AdminExile for my site?
Set a URL key or key-value pair in the plugin settings, choose redirect options, and optionally use IPv4/6 CIDR whitelists/blacklists. It requires manual setup but ensures robust security.
What if I forget my AdminExile URL key?
With v5, link recovery is removed. You’ll need filesystem access (e.g., FTP/SSH) to adjust settings or reset the plugin, as it’s designed for secure, manual management.
Can AdminExile protect my frontend login too?
No, frontend login blocking was removed in v5, as it’s better handled by other plugins. AdminExile focuses exclusively on /administrator security.
How does AdminExile handle IPv4 and IPv6?
It supports both IPv4 and IPv6 CIDR-based whitelists and blacklists, allowing you to permit or block entire networks, enhancing security for modern sites.
Is AdminExile compatible with Joomla 3?
Yes, but the latest version (v5) is Joomla 5-native. For Joomla 3, use an older version, though we recommend upgrading to leverage the latest improvements.
Why should I choose AdminExile over paid options?
It’s free, battle-tested, and focused on /administrator protection.
Does AdminExile log attacks or provide reports?
Yes, it logs login failures, and you can view live data (e.g., richeyweb.com’s attack graph) to understand attack patterns, though reporting features are streamlined in v5.
How secure are AdminExile’s URL keys?
They’re highly secure—long, non-guessable keys (or key-value pairs) frustrate attackers, who get no feedback, often giving up due to the plugin’s silent defense.
Can my key be numeric?
No, and I won't do anything about that limitation. It's a restriction imposed by Joomla itself.

Simple and Works Great!
2011-02-22 - T
This is a straightforward and simple plugin. Works great. Just install and assign your key. As the developer said, it is similar to the free version of jsecure.
Before finding this plugin, I did buy the paid version of jsecure. Unfortunately, it doesn't work properly with Joomla 1.6. After a week of frustration and trying to decipher their forum, I finally gave up.
Many thanks to adminexile and its developer. I will make donation. Keep up the great work!

I was upset that JSecure went commercial, which is why I wrote this plugin. It's good to hear your review!
Must have for J 1.6

Simple to use, together with your byebye generator and clean response makes me feel more secure on my site. Thanks.
One question, do you have another version for 1.5 ?

I might be bribed....
Not a very good extension.
2011-03-13 - Syed
The first thing it did was broke my site completely, I was unable to access either ways i.e. the default and or set key. I tried running the query specified by the author and God knows what went wrong after the query, the site is totally not responding.
Thank God I have a full backup, which i'll restore very quickly.
My review is out of my experience, my sincere apologies to author if this hurts.

I wish you would have contacted me. What you describe is not possible from this extension. It can only run in administrator, not the front end. I suspect that you have other issues.
Fantastic - Get It!
2011-03-20 - Jase
This has cured a problem with Joomla that I have had for a very long time...
I've never understood why CMS/Portals don't allow you to configure the admin backend during install, including setting a different directory...
I grasp why... but still, there should be an easier way to do it then all the hacks mentioned in forums and whatnot... However this Extension went and secured access to it for me anyhow! =D
An extra layer of security can go a long way if used properly.
I am tempted to write an additional plugin even though I suck at code, that would rely on a cron job that would randomize the key for the day, and then e-mail all users in the Site Admin group the passkey.
Keep up the great work, I'd love to see what else you come up with.
Reply
That is an interesting idea.... I will definitely put some thought into that. If I add it to AdminExile it will be optional, and the plugin will remain free.
Great component! Thanks a lot !!!!

Very Nice Little Plugin
2011-03-27 - Richard Price
Easy to install and configured in just a few seconds - be warned it starts working straight away so you need to login again with the new URL after enabling the plugin!
Not sure how effective it would be against a determined hacker but certainly gives me a bit more peace of mind. Thanks for developing it and sharing it - great plugin.
Reply
You are correct, a determined hacker willing to employ brute force against the plugin might be able to get past a key less than 8 characters long. Remember, getting past AdminExile doesn't get them logged in, just to the login screen. So, standard password rules should apply. Long keys with a mix of upper and lower case letters and numbers will be the most secure.
Excentent work and support
2011-03-30 - chusbaker
This extension is an alternative to jsecure which I used in the past to avoid sniffers.
Not just that, but also the support from Michael Richey is truly amasing. He gets involved in your case to solve any inconvenience.
Really good security results and developer support!
Thank you!

Very good plugin. Simple to configure and use. An excellent addition for Joomla 1.6. Love it. God bless you.
Great plugin but I did find an issue!
2011-04-10 - Jeff Sawlor
Richey, Thanks for this plugin it works awesome! However I too was able to lock my self out of the administrator side of my website. It wasn't the fact that I forgot my password but the fact that AdminExile has to have at least one letter in the password for it to work. My 1st password was a set of numbers. When I tried to login in it would throw a error. But if I had one letter in the password it would work. Other then that small issue everything else works like lucky charms! Thanks again! Jeff

Wow, I never tried using an all numeric key. Thanks for the report - I'll take a close look at that.
Best support I've ever had
2011-04-12 - Pablo Torres
Michael Richey has provided me with the best support I've ever received from a Joomla developer so far. And I've bought several commercial extensions and "support subscriptions". Must of them require to create a support ticket and wait 24 hours for a response wich most of the times isn't helpful. Michael responded my first email in minutes! and after that he kept in contact until he figuered out the problem (which wasn't even with his extension but with Jommla and still he wrote a patch for it).
I've tried all the free plugins to acomplish this task and AdminExile is by far the best. Kudos.

This is a need to have addon.
Even with the slight problems that i have i still love it.
When i log in the back-end it sends me back to the front-page and i have to fill in the key again than it goes straight to the back-end, aside from that I LOVE IT :D
Reply
That issue is described in the extension description and is caused by a Joomla 1.5 bug (you'll find the issue numbers in the description as well). It does not occur in Joomla 1.6. When the Joomla core developers implement one of the submitted fixes, this issue will go away. I'm sorry you experienced this issue, but it's not caused by the plugin.
Straightforward in use and effect
2011-06-30 - Don Lohse
This plug-in is very easy to understand and use both in install and application. Works like a charm and should be a common feature in every Joomla! site. Thanks!
Awesome Site Security Plugin
2011-07-09 - Saffron
I had tried to use a couple of other security extensions to protect the Admin page of my website, and had no luck. One even locked me out of the back-end completely and it took ripping things out and replacing other things from other Joomla installs with a mixture of FTP and phpMyAdmin to gain access again. Not cool.
On The Other Hand, AdminExile works like a charm straight out of the box. The protection is simple, but highly effective. I would (and will!) recommend it to anyone looking to add an extra layer of protection to their Joomla websit.! Good show!
Pure Excellence

Simplified Admin Security for Clients
2011-10-06 - Bounce
Without this plugin, it's possible to add a password barrier to your admin URL via htaccess. If you build Joomla sites for clients, however, you know that every required password is another thing your client can lose (and that you'll have to support). AdminExile secures the admin interface without an extra password barrier. It's simply a must-have, headache-free security control.
Fantastic

This plugin is very simple, so there is nothing else to write.
Thanks to the author.
Excellent with a small flow

Very useful and really good extension to any Joomla site.
One side note: In 1.5.25 it first redirects you to your homepage and after one more try you can login in your admin backend.
It's definitely a bug and should be removed, otherwise I would say KUDOS to you guys, keep the good work!
Greetings from Croatia!

The problem you describe is caused by a Joomla bug introduced in Joomla 1.5.22. The issue is documented in the Joomla bug tracker in issues 23216 and 24976 (it's actually just 1 issue). There are several proposed fixes, but none have been implemented. This one has been open for more than a year. http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla/tracker/?action=TrackerItemEdit&tracker_item_id=23216 This one has been open for almost a year. http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla/tracker/?action=TrackerItemEdit&tracker_item_id=24976 I agree that it should be removed. Unfortunately, I've done all I can to resolve it - the issue is within Joomla.

I have been plagued for weeks by some dictionary hackers trying to break into my Joomla admins. This beautiful plugin has put an end to that headache for me. And by bumping would-be hackers to the front page, it increases the traffic to my Google ads as well. What a wonderful extension!

I wanted to hide my 1.7 Administrator login page and this does exactly that, and does it simply and cleanly. Excellent!
I was happy to see the added feature which would allow me to block a Manager from logging into the front end (solving another of my needs), but it does not work as I expected. I'm emailing Michael for help. AdminExile still gets an Excellent rating, as the primary function works flawlessly.
Thanks!

wweb pointed out a bug with the front end restriction option which turned out to be an out-of-place quotation mark (it's always something silly/simple).

This is a must for all Joomla sites!
It works as advertized, I had it up and running in less than 1 minute. I was using another extension, however the programmer failed to support J1.6~ when I made the transition, so now I only use AdminExile on all my sites.
I love the new feature in Version 1.6 - Option to use key + value.
I also use Clean Response on all my sites.

I installed it yesterday. It is as easy as what other reviews said. And it works instantly.
Today when I try to log in again, I can't get the login page! (by the url cached on my firefox)
... ...
Problem solved by removing the www. on the url.
Not sure if it is because that url is itself a subdomain or why, anyway, hope this piece of infn is useful to those who encounter similar situation.
Reply
Subdomain you say... I'll look into that! Send me a message through my site!
Great first line of defence
2012-02-27 - Jodani
The first objective in safety is not to be seen. This extension redirects your browser if you try and access the back-end (e.g. .../administrator ) without a key.
Fast and easy. I am impressed.
Reply
Excellent point Jody - AdminExile isn't the only thing an administrator/owner should do to secure the administrator area. It is, however, a good first step. Strong passwords should be the next consideration. Paranoia is a good trait for webmasters.
EXCELLENT !!

How do you make money when all of your very very good extensions are all FREE. You are one of a kind of open dev. I salute you for all your hard work.

How do I make money... Well, I don't - not from free extensions anyway. Most of these extensions were built for my clients. Because they opted to NOT purchase full rights, I released them for free. So my clients paid me to create them, but they didn't pay to own them. There are several extensions I've created that are, sadly, not mine to give away anymore.

For those who are confused by this review - I offer custom development services. When a customer has an idea for an extension that I think would benefit the community - I offer to build it at a reduced cost in exchange for full copyright and a promise to release it as a free extension in the JED. These free extensions become a calling card and code example and bring more business to me. I can't say I like charging less - but I can say that I do enjoy giving back to the community.

Facing a couple of issues
2012-08-21 - Aritra Kundu
It's working fine but except 2 issues.
Firstly, while I'm clicking on logout button, its showing "Oops! the link appears to be broken".
Secondly, once I use this blanket url in a browser, the next time if I open the administrator link directly, without using this blanket url, the administrator page is opening directly.
Reply
First: If you're getting an error on logout - it's because you have an invalid redirect URL in the plugin settings. Second: if you read the description, you would know that this is how the plugin behaves: "Once you've clicked the second link, your AdminExile key will be active until your session expires (or until you close your browser)."
Website totally down.
2012-08-26 - alanshore
We have a website composed of 10 000 members on it but we always see hacking attacks so we decided to install this plugin yesterday for the first time.
Excellent it worked for 14h. Then, impossible to get access to the backend anymore. Not even with the key or whatever you explain on your website.
Now, we are facing more than 50 members that can't access to some things they paid for.
We face a 403 forbidden page and nothing more is usable.
Thank you so much, we really appreciate it. No support, no documentation. That's why it's free.
Reply
My software is very clearly written - and not obfuscated. It should be trivial for anyone who knows what they're doing to see that there aren't any 14 hour timers built into the code. Additionally, there is only one piece of code that sends a response code - and that code is 404 - not 403. 404 is not found - as in the content doesn't exist, while 403 is forbidden - as in, the server has been configured to disallow access. My guess is that you installed a whole bunch of things at the same time - and you have no idea what went wrong. If I was a betting man - I'd say you caused the error by changing something in your .htaccess file.

Complete customization? YES! Any plugin that forces you to use a particular pattern (ahem, like ?token=...) defeats the purpose. I would never accept that someone else knew any part of my security codes - and I would never want to know (or define) any part of yours. I'm glad that it does suit your needs, and you're welcome!

I installed the plugin on a large site and when I enter URL with correct ?codekey it redirects to homepage.
After disabling pluging in database (is very good instruction) it allows to login an superuser, but gives blank admin screen.
When logging in as (luckily not disabled) admin superuser and de-install plugin, everything is normal again.
I installed plugin on other small sites with no problems.

Is free and does not have links redirecting to other sites, very honest.
Awesome Plugin
2012-12-13 - Brian
Simple and straight forward.
I had over 5,000 hack attempts in less than a week. After installing this plugin, I have had exactly zero attempts.
Keep up the good work.

That's amazing! ZERO is the exact number of hack attempts I wanted your site to get! I'm glad you're pleased! It makes me happy to know that this little plugin is making difference.
Very good and useful plugin
2012-12-24 - Иван Барсуков
This is a wonderful plug-in. Thank You very much. I would have paid You for it, but I'm a poor man, I promise that if I get rich, I will definitely give a good amount of the further development.
Great!!

Been using this on a number of sites for a while now, and it's so easy and simple to use.
Works great on Joomla 3.
Very goos and simple addition to site security
2013-01-08 - Tom
OK, Joomla say's I have to write some more, just saying "little VERY useful tool. THANKS TO THE DEVELOPER !" would not be enough... SOOOO, HERE WE GO: IT IS REEEAAALLLYYY REEEAAALLLYYY EXXXELLENT AND I MEAN IT !!! Coz the best start of protecting a site (and frustrate spammers) is not showing them the Admin Login Page in the first place.
Does what it says, and does it well!
2013-01-14 - James Riley
This plugin does a nice job of protecting your [administrator] directory. I used to use a .htaccess file that forced password, but that would still confirm the existence of the folder. After getting hacked twice, I wanted something that would block anyone knowing about the administrator directory period; this plugin does exactly what I wanted. I enabled the optional "value+key" in order to make the access key a little bit harder to guess. Thanks muchly!!
awesome work
2013-01-23 - Aziz Khan
i am a joomla 1.5 user and i have allot of extension for this version, i was not using joomla 3 because of the admin security reasons, so as my personal opinion this one is better then jsecure, as i find this cool plug-in i am going to turn my site to version 3 from version 1.5.26, thank you guys for the great effort put on to build this cool plug-in.

It's not "you guys", it's just me, a soda, and a bag of tortilla chips. Thanks for the great review!
hide your admin easily
2013-02-09 - Meta Flow
Installation and configuration very easy. Work stable. Effective protect your administrator page address. Use it as one of the security tool!
Nifty!
2013-03-01 - teapot
Recently I installed one other security extension which informs me of failed log-in attempts to the admin section, and blocks the IP if too many occur.
Until then I never even knew how frequent brute force attempts to guess the admin password were! Nevermind the fact I changed the default admin username to something random and used a really complicated password, I still I ended up getting a dozen alerts for each joomla site I administer, per day! It really freaked me out.
With AdminExile - no more. Now the wicked hack bots can't even try. Awesome. :D
Reply
That was my intention when I wrote this extension. Because you can't bruteforce a form that you can't access.
Excellent Extension!
2013-03-11 - Manos Mantzas
Download, Install and configure, in less than a minute.
It works fine, it does exactly what it does and it's one installation file for all Joomla versions. Very convenient! I read most of the reviews and it does not worth less than Excellent, plus it's totally free and without any links or annoying copyrights in the front end. All the negative reviews and ratings are 100% fault of the people who made the installation and not the extension's developer fault! The extension rocks and it should its rating should be 5 by 5.
Reply
I really try to make good extensions that work. Some people have trouble, and I don't hold that against them. The only think I ask is that when things go bad, let me try to help rather than write a bad review. Bug fixes and feature additions don't always happen unless users report the bugs and request the features.
Could you make it any easier?!
2013-03-17 - Dom Lafferty
Wow. This is the first review I have ever done. IT DOES EXACTLY WHAT IS SAYS IT DOES!! Great plugin. Tested on 2.5.9 and3.0 and all worked great. Soooo easy to configure. The hardest part is deciding what words to use. I thank you for this plugin

Could I make it any easier? That's a good question. I can try. I was thinking of adding a password generator...

2013-04-28 - Monjur Ahmed
This is a very useful extension. Very easy to install and configure. It adds an extra level of security to my Joomla 3 website. It deserves 5 rating.
I thank the developer for his great effort.
Do Exactly what it says
2013-05-08 - Boulve
This Extension does exactly what it says. Hide the administrator log in page. Simple and easy, even for a Joomla noob like me!
Pros:
Easy and fast to configure
Cons:
None so far, does excatly what it promises
Excellent!
An elegant solution that is easy to use and works perfectly
2013-05-16 - Rick Stoffiere
What more can be said? If you are serious about protecting your Joomla admin area, you need this extension. Period! And, like everything developed by Michael Richey, this thing works perfectly, with no hidden back links or superfluous features. A great extension from one of the BEST developers out there helping us!! Thanks!!!!
A great plugin and even better support

I just wanted to stop by and leave a brief message in regards to this excellent plugin and it's author. AdminExile has single handily saved me numerous headaches and I wanted to express my gratitude towards it's developer. Thank you Michael for developing and supporting the open source mentality and I will be leaving a donation as soon as my college income allows.

Joe C.
Outstanding plugin and support
2013-06-09 - Henrik Holm Nielsen
This plugin is simply brilliant, and the support from the developer trying to debug and solve a found bug/issue, has been one of the most dedicated experiences I've ever seen on a free plugin.
I'd really like to urge all users of this plugin, to submit a donation to the developer - big or small, anything counts!
Reply
As hard as I try, I cannot possibly think of every use case and environment. It takes bug reports from users to make extensions reliable and robust. I know that many sites rely on AdminExile for protection and that's not a responsibility I take lightly. Submit your bug reports and I'll give them the attention they deserve! Thanks for the great review!
Essential security tool
2013-06-15 - David Payer
Very straightforward accessory that every Joomla site would be benefited by. You can't even attempt to log in as an admin if you don't provide the key and value pair. Bots can't simply check the /administrator folder to see if you use Joomla.
Well thought out. Very useful. Good developer.
The best of its kind; easy to install..
2013-06-25 - Mugisa Mustapha
The best extension, that does what it promises. Fantastic stuff. Keep it up.
As long as you go to the plugins, you'll find all the stuff you need.
Simply perfect!
2013-07-06 - ZioRiP
This extension does exactly what it says, it works perfectly, I am using it on several sites and it has never ever given me problems. The developer's website also contains information to get out of problems that may occur during its usage (for instance if you forget your secret url)... Can't give more than 5 stars, otherwise I would :)

I used in my personal site, and I am going to extend to other sites I manage. Easy to install and setup. Very good and clear documentation. I forgot my key and, following the instructions, recovered easily the access to my site.
You can't beat easy AND effective
2013-08-30 - JDonald
Such a simple idea, but probably not so simple to pull off, except this extension does indeed pull it off! Too often, very effective extensions aren't particularly easy to use, adminexile is a great exception to that...I don't see how it could be any easier! A hearty thank you for a brilliant tool! Should get 6 stars!

You can beat "easy and effective" and that's what I did. I made it easy, effective and FREE!
An Absolute Must Have
2013-09-14 - Brian Armstrong
AdminExile is an easy to install and configure plugin that provides compelling Brute Force security for your Joomla site.
During the first 5 days of using AdminExile on ONE of my Joomla sites, it detected and reported to me (via email) over 8,000 admin login attempts from over 270 i.p. addresses.
I simply configured the Blacklist on this site using the ip addresses logged by AdminExile, and my admin Brute Force attacks dropped to zero.
AdminExile is now installed on all of my Joomla sites and I keep a blacklist of i.p. addresses on my desktop. Every time AdminExile warns me of a new attack, I simply add the i.p. address to my desktop blacklist, then copy and past the i.p. addresses into the AdminExile blacklist for every one of my Joomla sites.
It's important to keep your blacklist 'up to date' and in numerical order so you can easily determine if an i.p. address has already been listed, or whether you need to add it to the list.
Yes, you can lock yourself out of your own site, as I've done on two occasions, but both incidences were my own fault.
AdminExile provides a couple of easy solutions for regaining access to your site, depending on how you locked yourself out, and they take only a few moments to deploy.
A highly recommended plugin that would make a wonderful inclusion to the standard Joomla package.
Thank you for providing such a comprehensive and important plugin for all Joomla users!
Reply
Awesome review! I'm glad to see someone using it the way I intended. I like your idea of keeping the IP addresses in order to make it easier to determine if you've already entered one. It would also make it easier to see that attacks might be coming from an IP range, so you could then adjust the rule to encompass an entire range instead of individual addresses. I think the next version will automatically sort the IP addresses in the white/black lists.
Huge thank you!
2013-10-01 - Ula
I have developed and manage quite few websites. I am still trying to find solution to protect them. I have ever purchase. I have installed this plugin on Joomla 2.5 and 3 and have to admit works like charm. If it was paid plugin I still would pay! The plugin works and does the job to protect from brute force. I was able effectively stop brute force attempts. Amazing work. Thank you so much and wish you had older version for Joomla 1.5. I still have few sites that didn’t have upgrades yet and this could be awesome.
Reply
I have this aversion to paying for software - by extension, I have a problem charging for it. There are so many developers out there donating their time to Joomla development, and free extensions that I felt it was my obligation to make my extensions free. I'm glad you're having success with the plugin. It's my intention to make the best security extension absolutely free.
Best Plugin

This plugin is a must have. Huge thanks to the developer for offering it as a non-commercial license! Just having the ability to customize the admin login location is enough for an excellent rating, but all the other additional tools take it over the top. Huge thanks for your work!

Other users are as responsible for the current features as I am. When I think of, or a user requests a feature that would make my extensions better - it gets added.

Reply
I can test in many environments - but I can't test in all environments. It takes bug reports to find the outliers - the bugs that spring up from system configurations that I didn't test. Along with the bug reports, it also takes users like you who are willing to take the time to help me test in your environment, where I have no physical presence. Thanks for helping to make this extension even better!
Highly Recommended Plugin !!
2014-02-27 - Goran Aasen - GaaTec Ltd.
I have been using Joomla for several years now and rate Adminexile as the single most important Joomla extension I use. I install this on absolutely all sites I develop, and use this together with a number of other security extensions to keep all my sites as safe as possible.
I also configure the email alert option so that I get emailed every time someone try to hack into the Joomla backend, and the attempts has gone through the roof in the last year.
If you haven't protected your admin url yet, then do not hesitate.
Download and install this plugin straight away, and within minutes you will have increased the security many fold.
Fantastic Plug-in
2014-02-28 - David Bott
Does exactly what it says. Very easy to install and configure and should be the first plug-in installed on EVERY Joomla installation! Fantastic job, Michael!

Truly Impressive Plugin
2014-03-30 - Jordan
I cannot fault this plugin not only do I have the ability to create keys in my admin path using letters, numbers and even !? etc this of course makes it hard to find admin panels. I do however at present have someone trying to brute force my backend and without this tool I would never of known let alone be able to change url path and even block ips from specified periods of time. FREE and one of the best and clearly essential tool available for Joomla.
Protected and quiet, with AdminExile
2014-04-01 - abacmedia

Great extension with small bug
2014-08-01 - Guy Walder
I'm using this extension for EVERY site I manage. It's really easy to setup and works well. On Joomla! 3.x there's a problem with the white and black lists not functioning. I've contacted the developer over a month ago and he said it's a know issue and it will be taken care of soon. Even made a small donation as I truly believe he's doing a wonderful job. Unfortunately the bug was not fixed yet and that's way only 4 stars.
Reply
Sorry for the delay. I sustained a head injury and have only been doing work for my contract clients while I healed. Many of my extensions will be receiving bug/fix updates today, AdminExile is the first.
Excellent Admin Protection

Absolutely does what it says
2014-10-21 - DimitriosNK
What can I say other than it works very well and hides your admin page. It's very easy to set up and doesn't really need much configuration after that.
There was an issue with Joomla 3.x where you couldn't white/blacklist IP addresses. It's fixed now with a recent update. It's free but worth making a donation, I did.
