**Your software**  
My Mautic version is: 4.4.7  
My PHP version is: 8.0.28  
My Database type and version is: 8.0.32

**Your problem**  
My problem is:

Under the above-mentioned position on the configuration page I enter a couple of IP addresses, but when I visit any landing page, my visits are still tracked and recorded in the database.

_Update 2023-04-19:_  
I forgot to change the IP address today, thus a site visit was recorded from a focus item I tested on my website. Then I changed the IP address in the configuration again. Now, another website visit where the focus item is placed is not tracked anymore. But visiting a mautic landing page is still being tracked.

BTW, I always use a different browser to test landing pages or mautic forms on my website, than the browser I have mautic opened.

These errors are showing in the log:

No, nothing in the logs.

Steps I have tried to fix the problem:

As I use a VPN to connect to the internet, I switched IP addresses several times, but with not impact. The issue persists. I even switched off the VPN and entered the new IP address into the configuration. Made no difference, still my visits get tracked and recorded.

The IP addresses I enter on the configuration page are saved to /app/config/local.php, but do not seem to have any impact.

It’s still the same with Mautic Version 4.4.12.  
Tracking of own clicks may not be a concern for big installations with lots of subscribers, but for smaller ones it might dilute what the reports are showing.  
Thus, as long as this continues to be the case, I take anything shown in the tracking reports with a grain of salt 😉
