 * Hi,
    i like your plugin very much and it does its job very well. But i miss an
   option, to anonymize the last part of IPv4 or IPv6. GDPR is neccessary for every
   european website and their visitors. Would love to see that feature in future.
 * With best regards from Germany,
    ITDAH

 * This data would fall under the 6 bases outlining how an IP address can be used
   in Article 6 of the GDPR. It is used to fulfill a legitimate interest. Namely
   the interest of your company to block known attackers. Without using the IP address
   you couldn’t check whether the visitor is on the Project Honeypot or Spamcop 
   blacklists. Saving the IP address without the last part of the address would 
   make it unusable in this instance. The visitors IP address is also most likely
   dynamic and therefore not covered by the GDPR.
