Hints:

Hint 1: That == at the end of the string is a dead giveaway for Base64 encoding.

Hint 2: Once you decode the Base64, you'll see a long string of numbers and letters (0-9, a-f). This is Hexadecimal.

Hint 3: You can use CyberChef and drag the "From Base64" and "From Hex" recipes into the pane to solve it in one go!
