Blocking an ICMP Ping
Computer hackers use what is known as “pinging” to find potential
victims on the Internet° By pinging a specific IP address and receiving
a response from the IP address, a hacker can determine that
something of interest might be there° The Router can be set up so it
will not respond to an ICMP ping from the outside° This heightens your
Router’s security level°
To turn off the ping response, select “Block ICMP Ping”
(1)
and click
“Apply Changes”° The Router will not respond to an ICMP ping°
