Exclude local host traffic from google analytics

[ThomasErb]

I'm getting a lot of local host referral traffic  from an unknown source.I want to get rid of this from my google analytics reports.

I've tried this filter  - but the traffic still appears.

Filtername = local host

Filtertype= custom

Exclude = filter field referral

Filter pattern  (.?localhost.?)

Any ideas ?

thanks in advance.

Hi Thomas,

Set up filter as mentioned in this article @ https://briefmetrics.com/articles/remove-localhost-from-referrers

**In Select expression select 'that contain' instead of 'that are equal to'. ******

Hope this helps.

Thanks
