GLPI inventory not add devices on for remote host

Hello,
I am configuring the rules for adding PC devices with GLPI inventory and GLPI agent.
I don't want to import into my inventory the personal devices of my users who work remotely.
I think it's possible because I can see the public contact IP address used by the agent but I can't find any associated rule.

Have you found a tip for this situation?
Thanks to all

These are the steps if doing it via Exclusion Rules:

Go to Setup > Inventory > Rules: This will take you to the list of existing rules for adding devices to your inventory.

Click "Add a rule": A new window will open where you can configure the rule.

Enter a name for the rule: This will help you identify the rule later.

Under "Conditions," select "Network > Public Contact IP Address": This will allow you to specify the IP address range to exclude.

In the "Value" field, enter the range of public IP addresses that belong to your remote users: You can use CIDR notation to specify a range of IP addresses. For example, if your remote users are assigned IP addresses from 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.150, you would enter 192.168.1.100/27.

Under "Actions," select "Exclude computers": This will ensure that any device connecting from those IP addresses is not added to your inventory.

Click "Save" to create the rule.

Ok thank you so much ! I will try it  and tell you if it work!
But it's a rule to filter with local network, not public IP. the best way for me is to filter with public IP because we have a dedicated IP like 89.xx.xx.xx and glpi inventory know it as last public ip contact.
