change admin directory

[mikez006]

I want to change the name of the admin folder for security reasons. However when I do I get redirected to this page

http://www.website.com/admin/?fail=1

Do I need to edit another file to make this change? Which file?

I was thinking about this problem too.

Google says, the best way to protect is to block (blacklist) all the IPs, and allow ( whitelist ) only your IP, so again you can login with your password.
I hope this feature will be added into VL.

with the current version, our admin paths are hardcoded. If you want extra protection you can use .htaccess to protect the /admin/ directory.

with our DDOS attack prevention for admin logins its highly unlikely anyone will be able to guess a strong password in only 4 attempts.

This was once discussed already and wanted to implement this, but for VL 2.0 we decided to go a different route with user permissons. So any usergroup ( Guest, regular member ) not having admin peermissions simply cant access that link, he will be simply redirected. Works good so far
