== Dependency on Lupovis Prowl Service == 

Lupovis Prowl Security relies on Lupovis Prowl, a third-party service offered by Lupovis Limited.

Specifically, Lupovis Prowl is used for:

1. Verifying the validity of IP addresses.
Ensuring that the IP addresses of visitors are not associated with known security threats.

This dependency means that the IP addresses of every website visitor will be transmitted to Lupovis Prowl for validation purposes. A request is made against the Lupovis Prowl API every time an IP address is being checked against incoming traffic.

Please ensure that you are comfortable with IP addresses of your visitors being transmitted to Lupovis before using the Lupovis Prowl Security pluggin. If you have any concerns about this, you may wish to consider another solution that does not rely on the Lupovis third-party services.
