How to logout from Django with custom user model and custom logout view?

Question

I made an app and extended AbstractUser to add some fields to my User model. After that, everything works as expected (login, create user, reset password...) but when I try to logout using the default django.contrib.auth.LogoutView or include('django.contrib.auth.urls') it will simply ignore the logout. When I go back to the restricted page I can enter and see the content and my user is actually logged in!

I created a custom logout view like this

def custom_logout(request):
    print('Loggin out {}'.format(request.user))
    auth.logout(request)
    print(request.user)
    return HttpResponseRedirect('/restrictedpage')

on the restrictedpage I have a print statement to show the user

print("User logged: {}".format(request.user))

When I click logout this is what shows up in the console:

"GET /restrictedpage  HTTP/1.1" 200 19820
User logged: ceterre
 ----- This is where i click logout ------
Loggin out AnonymousUser
AnonymousUser
"GET /accounts/logout/ HTTP/1.1" 302 0  ----- this redirects me to /restrictedpage
User logged: ceterre
"GET /restrictedpage HTTP/1.1" 200 19820

this literally translate to:

 - I know ceterre is logged
 - logging out ceterre
 - user logged: AnonymousUser
 - redirect to restricted page (where I should have no access since im supposedly logged out)
 - user logged: ceterre (without any login or anything...)

Login and logout is part of Django (and AbstractUser too) so you don't need extend this parts of code. One thing you must do is add in settings.py file this two line of code:

LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = 'template_name'
LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL = 'template_name'
