 * I installed and activated the plugin and it detects me being in Netherland (NL)
   although I’m in Poland without any VPNs. I had to add NL to whitelisted countries
   to not lock myself out. I cannot trust that the plugin will detect different 
   country in the feature and still lock me out… That is concerning.
 * I’m using Wordfence (basic version).
 * Your IP address / Country 172.XX.XX.XXX / NL (Cache)
 * IP address : XXX.XXX.XXX.X
    Geolite2 : NL Maxmind : n/a IP2Location : IP2Location.

 * It looks like you have a missing IP2Location LITE database.
 * Have you download the BIN file from [https://download.ip2location.com/lite/](https://download.ip2location.com/lite/)
   and save it as /home/user/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/ip-geo-api/ip2location/
   IP2LOCATION-LITE-DB1.BIN?
