    HI to all

    In my analytic account I want to exclude hits from china .

    I found that I have to use regular expression . I also found Google regular expression generator. But china has so many networks and subnets

    SO Do I need to create regular expression from all IP ranges being used in china ?

    Please let me know .

    You have two options

    1. Use an advanced segment (easier, you need not create a duplicate profile)
    2. Use filter (You may need a duplicate profile to preserve details of all traffic before exclusion)

    Attached image shows what you need to do to exclude Chinese visitors.

    Use a network filter but you need to collect lot of ip ranges.China is a large country and so does its network
    but why do you want to exclude traffics from China...?

    I have successfully blocked web visitors from certain countries to visit my website by using FREE tool from IP2Location.
    You all can try out IP2Locationâ„¢ Block Visitors by Country (Free) page at this website: IP2Location.com.
    Just select countries you want to block and they will generate script to insert on web server to block visitors access to the website.
