# IP Blacklist

Use the IP Blacklist feature to exclude specific IP addresses from data collection. This is helpful when you want to prevent internal traffic — like your team, agency, or testers — from affecting test data.

### How it works

* Users from blacklisted IPs will still see tests and variants
* However, their actions will not be counted toward:
  * Tested users
  * Conversions
  * Page views
  * Any test metrics

***

### How to add an IP

1. Go to Workspace Settings
2. Click IP Blacklist from the left-hand menu
3. Enter the IP address in the input field
4. Click Add IP to blacklist

You’ll see a list of all blacklisted IPs once added.

***

### When to use this

* Exclude internal teams from A/B test data
* Prevent test manipulation from known testers
* Clean up analytics by removing non-customer traffic
