Question

I have deployed my Asp.Net web application on Windows Server 2008 R2 , and I want to block all ping requests to this server without effecting my application .

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Go to Start → Administrative Tools → Windows Firewall with Advanced Security → Inbound Rules → File and Printer Sharing (Echo Request – ICMPv4-IN) → right click and select Enable Rule.

My application now works fine and when I try to ping my server I do not receive any response.

Answer 2

Using the solution provided by Satinder, you should further refine the scope of which computer/server and/or IP range(s) can Ping your server.

That way, the public can't ping your server but maybe you or certain computer on your network can get to it in case you need a quick check on connectivity.
