Ping will still likely work. At least I can ping all my machines on my private network. However, I'm not able to ssh into it or anything else, because all traffic is dropped.

It all depends on firewall configuration, but I think you may unnecessarily scare people by suggesting they're wide open just because ping works.

ICMP should be allowed anyways because of MTU path discovery.

stop disabling ping
