How do I exclude my internal traffic from reports? - Analytics Help

 

If you want to exclude internal traffic from appearing in your reports, you can filter out a specific IP address or a range of IP addresses. You can also use cookies to filter out visits from particular users. We'll explain how below.

To exclude by IP address:

 

Click Filter Manager from the Analytics Settings page

Enter a Filter Name for this filter

From the Filter Type drop-down list, select Exclude all traffic from an IP address

The IP address field will auto-populate with an example IP address. Enter the correct value. Remember to use regular expressions when entering any IP address. For example, if the IP address to filter is:

176.168.1.1

then the IP address value will be:

176\.168\.1\.1

 

You may also enter a range of IP addresses. For example:

Range: 176.168.1.1-25 and 10.0.0.1-14

IP address value : ^176\.168\.1\.([1-9]|1[0-9]|2[0-5])$|^10\.0\.0\.([1-9]|1[0-4])$

 

For help finding the correct expression for your range of IP addresses, use our tool:
