Exclude traffic from IP address

[filippodanesi]

Hi everyone! 👋
I state that I am new to using Plausible.
I was wondering if there was the possibility to exclude IP addresses from the tracking (as with the Google Analytics filters), in order to exclude traffic from my pc or the work one.

Thank you 😁

Hi @filippodanesi!

Excluding visits by IP address is not possible unfortunately, but we do have other ways to exclude yourself from being tracked:

1. localStorage flag: https://plausible.io/docs/excluding-localstorage
2. using an adblocker: https://plausible.io/docs/excluding

Hope this helps!

Update: It’s now easy to exclude your internal traffic from being counted in your stats. See how here: https://plausible.io/docs/excluding

Is this for Self hosting also possible because I don't see the options in the settings..

This feature is available at /<site name>/settings/shields/ip_addresses in CE. What version of Plausible are you running?

[atilladeniz]

Oh, I understand now! I see the new CE has these settings. Thank you @ruslandoga for taking the time to help me and for your detailed answer!

Hi there, I can't found this option on my instance.

What's going wrong? I'm self-hosting :)

Please make sure you are using the latest version. Current latest version is v2.1.4. See https://github.com/plausible/community-edition for more details :)

Thanks for your reply, I see that I need to tweak my docker-compose.yml file a little in order to get the last updated version :)
