How do I exclude my own IP address?

    I'm trying exclude my own IP address so it doesn't count visitors and page views created by me. I found some information on Google but I'm finding it almost impossible to locate some of the settings, which leads me to believe the information is out of date. Does anybody have an up to date method on how to achieve this?

    Thanks!

    if i understand what you want, and you mean that you need a good quality code to count the visitors of your page without count your ip, the best solution is a javascript code.
    I dont know where you find it, give me some minutes and i message you in a while.

    are you using google analytics? If yes, then go to your account home, on the right hand you have the ADMIN button.
    After clicking it you will see your accounts listed. Click one of them and now you see the websites you are tracking.
    There is a tab called Filters, create a new filter with the following settings:

    Predefined filter -> Exclude -> traffic from the IP addresses -> that are equal to -> add your IP.

    Apply the filter to the sites you don't want to track you and you're done.

    You may also want to set a range - this helped me, since my company has a few different IP addresses that I wanted to exclude.

    if you want to filter a range, then it's a bit more complicated but not rocket science:

    Custom filter -> Exclude -> Visitor IP Address -> Pattern should be: xxx\.xxx\.xxx\.[x-xxx]

    notice the last range definition: [1-255] or just [25-56] - based on the range your IP addresses are changing

    @Seqqa @freebiesindia @digitalrock - you're welcome
