Re: [DSL] To be Pingable or not? 3 different subjects Being Pingable (responding to ICMP Echo Request) is a great troubleshooting tool. Disabling it does not materially affect security. There are some denial of service attacks involving massive Ping traffic but that is not something a typical residential customer needs be concerned about.
I have it enabled on my home network, and if you noticed so does Broadband Reports.
