: Enable PING

(Note: Security by obscurity may be of very little actual benefit with
modern cracker scripts. By default, UFW blocks ping requests. You may
find you wish to enable ping to diagnose networking problems.)

You need to edit /etc/ufw/before.rules and remove the commment on this
line (remove the # in the front)

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

marcos this: Hi! For hide ip manually:
$ sudo nano /etc/ufw/before.rules
Replace:
-A ufw-before-input -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -j ACCEPT
by:
#-A ufw-before-input -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -j ACCEPT

seems incorrect to me.....
 By default, UFW blocks ping requests
