Make sure you have [set up MaxMind](https://meta.discourse.org/t/configure-maxmind-for-reverse-ip-lookups/173941) correctly, this plugin depends on it!

This plugin is primarily meant to add and display a location to a user as part of building trust. Any other application for this kind of logic is more suitable for the excellent [Locations plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/locations-plugin/69742/1208).
