This isn't helpful. The comment was specifically asking about the probes, not ICMP traffic.","comments":[{"id":37509446,"user":"kube-system","time":1694701172,"time_ago":"2 years ago","type":"comment","content":"

Anybody can do this same thing, if you're worried about this, you probably don't want inbound ICMP.","comments":[{"id":37509474,"user":"chaps","time":1694701276,"time_ago":"2 years ago","type":"comment","content":"

Cool. Thanks. But let's say I do.","comments":[{"id":37510340,"user":"kube-system","time":1694705579,"time_ago":"2 years ago","type":"comment","content":"

Then there's nothing you can do. If you respond to pings, then others can take note of the responses you send.","comments":[{"id":37510468,"user":"chaps","time":1694706116,"time_ago":"2 years ago","type":"comment","content":"

You're missing the point that the question is effectively asking for a list of hosts that they can block.

I understand that was the initial question. I am saying that is a fools errand. Anyone with a few VPSes, a calculator, and a map can do this. It isn't just ipinfo.io doing this. There are a lot of ip geolocation services.","comments":[],"comments_count":0,"level":4,"url":"item?id=37510671"}],"comments_count":1,"level":3,"url":"item?id=37510468"},{"id":37520341,"user":"sgjohnson","time":1694768956,"time_ago":"2 years ago","type":"comment","content":"

And if you don't respond to pings, a traceroute can still be used to find the hop before yours, which will almost certainly achieve the same result for geolocation purposes.","comments":[],"comments_count":0,"level":3,"url":"item?id=37520341"}],"comments_count":3,"level":2,"url":"item?id=37510340"}],"comments_count":4,"level":1,"url":"item?id=37509474"}],"comments_count":5,"level":0,"url":"item?id=37509446"}],"comments_count":6,"url":"item?id=37509429"}
