Hey Hazem, can you describe the filter you're using?
IP addresses are anonymized (just as if `aip` were used). In other words, if
you send `uip=1.2.3.4` it will be anonymized to `1.2.3.0` so any specific
filter looking for `1.2.3.4` will fail to match.
This is mentioned in the `uip` docs, but a note could probably be added as it
relates to filters:

ers#uip
Does this sound like it might be your situation?

Thank you very much for your reply.
Your explanation makes perfect sense.
If this is not a bug it's a limitation.
Considering the above scenario, I am not sure implicitly forcing the IP
anonymization, when passing uip parameter, is a must-have feature.
If other legitimate scenarios show up, please consider making the anonymization
only the default, giving the developer the option to disable it, when needed.
Thank you,
Hazem

I have a similar issue with our offline conversions.
In GA, I have two views set up: an unfiltered one and a "master" one which uses
a filter to exclude all traffic from our office IP address. The offline
conversion hits are originating from our office IP address, so I'm using the
uip parameter to pass the customer's IP address to circumvent the filtering.
Unfortunately, it's not working. All but two offline transactions hits so far
have been filtered out in the "master" view. The only difference I can see with
the two that did NOT get filtered is that I also included the ua parameter and
passed the user agent. Does the uip parameter only work if the ua parameter is
also passed? Doesn't seem logical.
