    hi

    I'm a newbie. Anyone can tell me how to set up a filter in google analysis if my ip range from 58.187.0.0 to 58.187.254.254. I set up 2 filters but maybe they did not work.

    Google Analytics accounts for all visitors to a site, and it’s important to catch accurate data by excluding visitors who don’t count. Visitors who “don’t count” may include:

    marketers & developers working on the site
    visitors who work at the company/organization the website is promoting
    First, look up your IP address using an IP lookup tool. http://ip-lookup.net/

    Next, access analytics and click on Analytics Settings in the upper right hand corner.



    Scroll below all website profiles and select filter manager:



    Finally, select “exclude all traffic from an IP address” and add the IP address(es) you wish to exclude. Voila, you’ll have a more accurate read of traffic to your website!



    You can also use filters to exclude traffic that enters through a certain domain, ensure an analytics report only focuses on traffic to a certain subdirectory, and many more fancy custom filters.

    if you want to setup filter for excluding your visits from specific ip address ranges.. then follow below steps.

    1. Click Filter Manager from the Analytics Settings page
    2. Enter a Filter Name for this filter & Select custom filter as Filter Type
    3. Chose Exclude & Select Visitor IP Address as Filter Field.
    4. Enter below IP Address into Filter Pattern and select websites from which you want to exclude own traffic.

    ^58\.187\.(([0-9]|[1-9][0-9]|1([0-9][0-9])|2([0-4][0-9]|5[0-3]))\.([0-9]|[1-9][0-9]|1([0-9][0-9])|2([0-4][0-9]|5[0-5]))|254\.([0-9]|[1-9][0-9]|1([0-9][0-9])|2([0-4][0-9]|5[0-4])))$

    I've created Regular Expression for excluding your visits of your ips which you mentioned here. Hope this will work for you.

    try this ^58\.187\.0-254\.0-254$, if this will help you.
