How can I filter internal traffic in GA4?

Asked on Sep 15, 2025

Answer

To filter internal traffic in Google Analytics 4 (GA4), you need to set up an internal traffic filter using IP address rules. This can be done in the Admin section under Data Streams.
  1. Sign in to your Google Analytics account.
  2. Navigate to Admin → Data Streams and select your data stream.
  3. Under "Additional Settings," click on "More Tagging Settings" and then "Define Internal Traffic."
  4. Click "Create" and enter your IP address range and a name for the rule.
  5. Save the rule and then create a filter in the "Data Settings" to exclude this traffic.
Additional Comment:
  • Ensure that the IP addresses you enter are correct and cover all internal traffic sources.
  • After setting up the rule, you can test it by checking the real-time reports to ensure internal traffic is excluded.
  • Remember that changes might take some time to reflect in your reports.
