Cant ping any host. Otherwise internet works fine

$ ping localhost
PING localhost(localhost (::1)) 56 data bytes

$ ping google.com

PING google.com (216.58.192.206) 56(84) bytes of data.

It eternally hangs here.  Doesn't even indicate no response.

I am able to resolve DNS, browse web, etc, but ping utterly fails. As a result, a lot of my scripts that rely on

ping

fail. I've reinstalled iputils, to no avail. Why can't this simple app respond to a simple ping?  It's very frustrating, and I feel like I've reached a dead end!

Do you use a firewall?

Re: Cant ping any host. Otherwise internet works fine

Can you please post the output of:

sudo iptables --list

make sure something is not blocking it. Otherwise ufw is nice for managing iptables.
