Incoming Ping

Do EE block incoming pings? I wanted to setup a Broadband Monitor at Think Broadband but there is no response which I've confirmed by testing else where.

Hi @woakesd

No EE does not block incoming ping, but the newer routers are set to ignore ping.

You can use your own 3rd party router, or there may be other ways around it if you know and trust the solution - a non editable device in the DMZ.

Thanks, I'm using a Ubiquiti Dream Machine and misunderstood the firewall configuration.

Got it now!
