Support CIDR and Regex IP Filtering to Prevent MAU Consumption
Allow customers to exclude entire IP ranges using CIDR notation (e.g., 43.172.0.0/16) or regular expressions to prevent unwanted traffic from contributing to billable MAUs.
Business Impact:
Manually maintaining hundreds of IP exclusions is not scalable, especially with evolving automated traffic. More flexible filtering would reduce administrative overhead and help customers manage MAU consumption more effectively.

I also think Optimizely needs to level-up its own proactive identification, handling, and/or remediation of high-likelihood-of-automated-traffic sources. Even with CIDR/RegEx option, maintaining IP exclusions is an overhead that, at least my team, does not have much capacity for.
