Allow incoming ping requests on Windows machines

 
 
  • Gérald Barré

Ping requests are sometimes needed for monitoring purposes, but Windows Firewall blocks incoming ICMP requests by default. To enable them, run the following command:

Shell
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Allow Ping" protocol=icmpv4 dir=in action=allow
