# ICMP ECHO requests (ping)
|
|
|
|
Some games rely on ICMP ECHO requests to detect network connectivity,
|
|
or to measure connection ping.
|
|
|
|
Proton supports sending ICMP ECHO requests using RAW sockets or DGRAM
|
|
ICMP sockets, but the former requires elevated privileges, and the
|
|
latter may also be disabled by default.
|
|
|
|
DGRAM ICMP sockets can be enabled for a given set of user groups by
|
|
running the following command, and will stay enabled until next reboot:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.ping_group_range="<low> <high>"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Where <low> (resp <high>) is lower bound (resp higher) of the user
|
|
groups which will be allowed to create such sockets. It is possible to
|
|
enable them for any group by using "0 4294967295".
|
|
|
|
In order for the configuration to be persistent, it is possible to add
|
|
the following line to `/etc/sysctl.conf` (or a file in `/etc/sysctl.d`):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
net.ipv4.ping_group_range="<low> <high>"
|
|
```
