  • Jim Munro: Hi +Swati Badoniya ;. There's probably a smarter way to do this but I'd turn the filter off and visit one of your sites with low traffic. Use Real time, Location to figure out where you are being identified and then turn the filter back on.

    There's a chrome extension that would make this easier and faster. Open up a site with GA code and virtually no traffic. If the extension reports 0 visitors, you will know your filter is working. If it reports 1 or more visitors, check to see if any of the reported user's locations match yours via the link to GA from the chrome extension.
