 * Websites that are behind a load balancer or proxy server will see all incoming
   traffic as the same IP, and anyone hosting websites on even a semi-professional
   scale will likely have a similar server setup. It obviously defeats the purpose
   of a plugin like this if it can’t differentiate between sources. There are other
   plugins like “Proxy Real IP” that get the real IP from traffic behind a proxy
   or load balancer or proxy based on the HTTP header that is sent. Unfortunately,
   the Login Security Solution” plugin doesn’t seem communicate with such real IP
   grabbing plugins and everything still shows up as the load balancer IP in the
   database.
