# Filter IPS Sometime you want to log your own visits, especially when your blog or website is still small and your navigation can really influence the stats present in Metrical. For this reason, you can filter IPS inside an application: just go to the application settings and you can add a list of IPs. Metrical won't save visits from these IPs. If you want, you can also use a wildcard to filter IPs. Example: if you put only '1.2.' instead of a complete IP, Metrical will filter out all IPs that starts with that address (1.2.3.4, 1.2.122.23, 1.2.1.9, ecc) This comparison between the visitor IP and the list of IPs inside your application is done as the first thing during a visit, so **no data** will be saved of that visit if the IP matches. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.metrical.xyz/general/filter-ips.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
