Mask admin user IP addresses - both historical data and future activity

Description

DragonIP protects administrator privacy by masking IP addresses throughout your WordPress installation. It can hide existing IP data and prevent future IP logging.

What it does:

• Historical Masking - Replace existing IP addresses with 127.0.0.1
• Future Masking - Automatically mask new IP addresses for ongoing activity
• Smart Detection - Works with comments, security plugins, and activity logs
• Admin-Only - Secure interface restricted to administrators

Installation

1. Upload the dragonip folder to /wp-content/plugins/
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
