I initially tested on your site. On the landing page (which appears to actually be the "news" page) I clicked the "admin area" text and it sent me to http://metry.tklapp.com/admin/admin_login.php?return=%2Fadmin%2F so I thought perhaps you meant that that the weird redirected happened after login.
So I launched a new v14.0 t2.small Pligg server (from the Hub). First thing I noticed is that my login page looks different so I'm guessing that you're actually using an older version of TurnKey than me (v13.0?). Is that right? The "admin area" text link refers me to http://pligg-test.tklapp.com/admin/admin_login.php?return=/admin/ Note the fact that my ?return= path includes slashes where as yours has %2F (the HTML hex code for a slash) instead.
So my guess is that you are using an old version of TurnKey Pligg and it is a bit buggy. Is there any reason why you're not using the latest?
FWIW I also noticed that the "Home" link on yours redirects to 127.0.0.1 (which is localhost). The home link on mine, correctly redirects to http://pligg-test.tklapp.com/ Also the Admin Avatar is missing on yours; using google chrome dev tools I discovered that that is trying to load from 127.0.0.1 too.
Please note that the above links will no longer work as I destroyed my instance...
Are you using TKL v13.0 or v14.0?

(the HTML hex code for a slash) instead.Out of interest I tried manually typing that into mine (i.e. http://pligg-test.tklapp.com/admin/admin_login.php?return=%2Fadmin%2F) and guess what?! When I do that, after login I also get redirected to http://www.pligg-test.tklapp.com/admin/admin_index.php and it does't work...
But when I login, it correctly sends me back to http://pligg-test.tklapp.com/admin/
