Mikrotik security: How to block icmp requests to the WAN IP on your Mikrotik router

One of the security measures recommended for network engineers trying to secure a network is the denial of icmp requests sent to the live IP address on the router. This makes sure that attackers will have no way of determining whether your router is up or not let alone launching a denial of service attack. While many would think this is easy especially on Mikrotik routers, only a few who have done it have succeeded without denying all kinds access to the router via the WAN interface. In this demonstration, I will be sharing with us on how to effectively deny icmp requests sent to the WAN interface of your Mikrotik router while still granting access to authorized IPs via other protocols for remote management of the router.
