Configure ufw to drop icmp echo requests?

[Seanlol]

I've been trying to configure ufw to drop ping requests for a couple days now, and I can't figure it out. I've tried a couple different methods in some different guides, still nothing. Anyone know how to do this?

In /etc/ufw/before.rules change

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

to

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

Then restart UFW.

sudo restart ufw

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

to

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

Then restart UFW.

sudo restart ufw

I did this. The computer is still accepting ping requests.

Accepts ping requests from where ? localhost ? you LAN ?

Do you have any additional rules that accept connections earlier in your rule set ?

Post

sudo ufw status verbose
sudo iptables -L -v -n

Note that after modifying /etc/ufw/before.rules you have to do:

ufw disable
ufw enable
