How to set Friewall to stop pings

[JamesKB]

I've just installed Kubuntu and enabled the Firewall. When I check my system on Shields Up it fails the ping test. See image at: https://jameskbtestdomain.com/pingFailed.png

What setting do I need to use to fix this issue?

Thank you for your time.

Edit /etc/ufw/before.rules and look at # ok icmp codes for INPUT and # ok icmp code for FORWARD

changes :

-A ufw-before-input -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -j ACCEPT for -A ufw-before-input -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -j DROP for both

after editing the file make sudo ufw reload

The other way is to disable icmp request on router.

This would be the main way, if behind a router. Being able to ping a system on your home/local network is not a bad thing.

I agree totally.
