You can filter IP addresses at Google (full instructions here):


To exclude internal traffic from appearing in a report view, create a
custom filter to exclude a specific IP address or a range of IP
addresses.

Filter Type: Custom > Exclude

Filter Field: Visitor IP Address

Filter Pattern:

For example, if the single IP address is 176.168.1.1, then enter
176.168.1.1.

For example, if the range of IP addresses is 176.168.1.1-25 and
10.0.0.1-14, then enter ^176.168.1.([1-9]|1[0-9]|2[0-5])$|^10.0.0.([1-9]|1[0-4])$
Remember to use regular expressions to enter an IP address.


You can create new profiles within your Google analytics account (set up instructions here) if you want to be able to create two ways of tracking traffic for example:


Internal Traffic Report profile (with filters to show only internal IP addresses)
External Traffic Report profile (with filters to show only external IP addresses)
