07/25/2024, 4:51 PMWe don't really support custom hashing / forced variations in the way you're imagining. Our notion of forced variation is for testing/QA purposes and bypasses the normal experiment flow, skips tracking callbacks, etc.
Can you use the IP directly as your hash attribute instead of trying to force a bucket?
Also should note that bucketing on IP can lead to bias because its very common for many users to have the same IP address.

07/25/2024, 4:53 PMAlternately you could skip our SDK entirely and do your own experimentation implementation using your own hashing etc, and calling your event tracker directly. Then use GB to analyze the experiment data only instead of fully implementing in GB.

07/25/2024, 5:24 PMThanks, skipping the SDK is a great idea, I have just a single experiment with a single flag, so it will be only a few lines of code.

07/25/2024, 5:26 PMI know about the bias, I can track number of visits in each group. By the way, do you know about some resources how to make A/B testing GDPR compliant? What does and doesn't require consent from users?
