Setting up I.P Filter Google Analytics - I.p ending with 0/24

[AlphaDigital2]

Hi everyone,

Your help would be much appreciated for the following:

I am trying to setup I.P filters for our Google Analytic account to exclude internal traffic.

We are located in multiple locations and each location have multiple I.p addresses.

The I.P addresses we have end either by 0/24  which apparently means they provide a range from 0 to 255 and or 128/25.

I have tried to setup the I.P addresses in different formats on the GA filter but they are  apparently are not valid:

example of one setup I tried:

1**.\2**.\8*.([0-256])

I have gone through the Filter setup guide from Google but I must be doing something wrong- probably to do on how I setup the I.P's ending with 0/24 and 128/25

If anyone could help me  on how I can set up the I.P filters  Google analytic would be great.

The I.P addresses look like the following (changed digits):

Location 1:

174.177.179.0/25

174.177.179.128/25

Location 2:

196.222.87.0/24 
194.59.197.0/24

Thanks you so much for your help,

L.

Here's how I do it. I use a custom filter and filter IPs by range

PART ONE - Generate RegEx for IP Range

1. Go to this RegEx range tool: http://www.analyticsmarket.com/freetools/ipregex
2. Enter your IP address in "First IP, but change the "D block" to your start range
3. Enter your IP address into "Last IP", but change the "D block" to your end range
4. Click generate, and here's what you get for your first location: ^174.177.179.([0-9]|1[0-9]|2[0-5])$

PART TWO - Create The Filter

1. Go to create a new filter in Analytics
2. Give it a name
3. Select Custom
4. For field choose "IP Address"
5. Paste your RegEx in "Filter Pattern
6. Save

Are you getting errors?

If you just dont see any difference, that will be because filters dont apply retrospectivly to data. They will only work for new data after the filter is added. So it might take some time before you see the changes.
