Hello everyone,

Does anybody experiences this particualr issue? When I have csf enabled, my server shows a very bad ping, up to 70% packet loss in my ping report. But when I disabled it, ping goes back to 100%.

Can anybody help?

Thanks n advance.

Do you have ICMP_IN_RATE enabled? If so, then iptables will rate limit ping requests based on the rate you configure.

i'm experiencing this problem now, and i've just set ICMP_IN_RATE to 0 and the ping is fine now.
but this is not affecting the normal visits when it's not set to 0?
