How does GA4 handle ‘internal traffic filtering’ and what are the implementation options?

Accepted Answer

GA4 handles internal traffic filtering by allowing users to set up IP address-based filters under Data Streams. This ensures that internal traffic is tagged with the 'internal' traffic_type event parameter. Additionally, a separate filter in Data Filters must be activated to exclude internal traffic from reports.
