<p>DragonIP protects administrator privacy by masking IP addresses throughout your WordPress installation. It can hide existing IP data and prevent future IP logging.</p>
<p><strong>What it does:</strong><br />
* <strong>Historical Masking</strong> – Replace existing IP addresses with 127.0.0.1<br />
* <strong>Future Masking</strong> – Automatically mask new IP addresses for ongoing activity<br />
* <strong>Smart Detection</strong> – Works with comments, security plugins, and activity logs<br />
* <strong>Admin-Only</strong> – Secure interface restricted to administrators</p>
