Exclude Your Own Visits

Available onevery plan

Your own visits, your team's, or a staging server's can skew the numbers on a small site. Cabin gives you two ways to keep them out, and you can use both.

Exclude IP addresses and ranges (per site)

For an office, a VPN, or anyone on a fixed address. Visits from listed addresses are dropped as they arrive, before anything is counted or stored, so they never appear anywhere in the dashboard.

1. Open your site's Domain Settings.
2. In Exclude IP addresses, enter one address or range per line. IPv4 and IPv6 both work, and ranges use CIDR notation:

   203.0.113.7
   203.0.113.0/24
   2001:db8::/32

3. Click Save. You can list up to 30 entries per site.

Changes take effect within a few minutes. Nothing is applied to visits already recorded.

The list is part of your site settings, so it can also be set through the MCP server. Bear in mind that reading or setting it through an AI client shares those addresses with that client's provider.

Block your own browser

For a laptop that moves between networks, or when you don't know your address, you can prevent Cabin from logging your own visits by setting a simple browser flag.

1. Open the site you want to stop tracking.

2. Open your browser's Developer Console:

   Browser	macOS	Windows
   Chrome, Arc, Safari, Brave, Opera	⌘+⌥+I	Ctrl+Shift+I
   Firefox, Edge	⌘+Shift+J	Ctrl+Shift+J

3. Enter this command in the Console and press Enter:

   cabin.blockMe(true)

The Console confirms which site you blocked, and the flag is saved in that site's Local Storage. So it covers one site, in one browser, on one device. Repeat it on each site you want to block and in each browser you use.

example.com and www.example.com count as separate sites here, so block both if your site answers on both addresses. In a private window the flag only lasts until you close it.

To resume tracking your visits, clear the site's Local Storage or run:

cabin.blockMe(false)
