Exclude your own visits, IPs, countries, hostnames, or paths

Flowsery lets you configure exclusion rules for paths, IPs, countries, and hostnames from Website Settings → Security.

What exclusions do today

Exclusion settings help you keep your reports cleaner by defining traffic you do not want to analyze.

Important note about billing and ingestion

The UI exposes exclusions and stores them with your website settings. This documentation should not be read as a guarantee that excluded traffic is removed from ingestion before it counts toward quota in every path. Use exclusions primarily as a reporting-control feature unless you have verified the exact behavior in your environment.

Supported exclusion types

• URL paths such as /admin or /staging/*
• Specific IP addresses
• Countries
• Hostnames such as staging.example.com

Configure exclusions

1. Open Website Settings in Flowsery.
2. Go to the Security tab.
3. Add the paths, IPs, countries, or hostnames you want to exclude.
4. Save the website settings.

Browser-only testing note

Older guides referenced a localStorage.flowsery_ignore flag. I could not verify an active code path that reads that flag in the current implementation, so it should not be relied on as an exclusion mechanism.
