<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin relies on two external services to function properly. These services are used to identify user locations and provide country data for configuration purposes.
<h3>1. ipinfo.io</h3>
What is the service used for? 
– Used to determine the geolocation (specifically, the country) of an IP address attempting to log in. 
– Ensures that only users from allowed countries can log in as administrator, shop manager, editor, or author.
What data is sent and when? 
– The plugin sends the IP address of the user attempting to log in to <code>ipinfo.io</code> at the time of login. 
– This is done in real time to determine the user’s country and enforce access rules.
