On piwik, I use localhost as a test website. When I type in localhost from my computer, piwik updates its statistics correctly but when another person (co-worker) in the same LAN types in my IP address, it shows the webpage but piwik doesn't update the visits/pageview count. I would like to know why is that? Any help would be appreciated.

Piwik PRO uses a tracking code (a JavaScript code) to collect data about people who visit your site or app. The tracking code is part of the container embedded on your web pages. Every time a visitor views a page, the tracking code grabs information about that visitor and sends it to Piwik PRO. Then Piwik PRO organizes this data into reports.
There are several possible reasons why Matomo (Piwik) is not tracking your visits properly: Incorrect Matomo tracking code Please check that you can find the Matomo javascript code on your website pages that you wish to track.
Inside the Piwik PRO settings tab Whenever cookieless tracking requires asking for consent, Piwik PRO’s built-in consent manager helps easily get proper consent. Google Analyticsdoes not offer any possibility to track cookieless by default.
Access to piwik.php fails If your host uses mod_security to block requests containing URLs (eg. hosts like HostGator, The Planet), check out the Matomo and mod_security FAQ.
You need to add your IP to the trusted_hosts[] configuration. If you installed Piwik under localhost, it will only accept tracking requests if called under that name.
In config.ini.php add:
[General]
trusted_hosts[] = localhost
trusted_hosts[] = 192.168.1.12
Where 192.168.1.12 is your IP address within your LAN:
186
This config
[General]
trusted_hosts[] = localhost
says on which address you can access Piwik, its admin panel. If you want to track LAN page you have to modify its Tracking code. To get right for you tracking code (it will not work if you have dynamic IP in your network):
trusted_hosts IP address you have in LANlocalhost but by your LAN address eg. 192.168.1.12 Explaination:
This all happens because when you enter Piwik Admin Panel from your localhost all tracking codes will have localhost as you Piwik address. So if somebody enters webpage with tracking code, browser will try to communicate with user localhost which is: His Computer. and probably he doesn't have your Piwik.
