netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name=\u201dICMP Allow incoming V4 echo request\u201d protocol=icmpv4:8,any dir=in action=block<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name=\u201dICMP Allow incoming V6 echo request\u201d protocol=icmpv6:8,any dir=in action=block<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
