Google Analytics Filter - set up correct ?

[Digmen1]

Hi Guys

I think I set my Google Analytics Exclude Filter up wrongly, so I have been recording my own hits ! which is a pain when you have a small new site like mine

This is what I have entered now - do you think this is the correct syntax ?

202\.154\.159\.185.

Kind Regards
Digby

I believe this would filter hits from that IP address. You would want to take the last period off after the 185

Thanks for that

But why couldn't they just make the syntax easy like

202.154.159.185 ?

typical engineers!
