Q: how to stop macbook from responding to random pings
MacBook Version 10.6.8 I do not know what iOS number this is
Trying to tighten up security on my home network. Was able to stop my PC from replying to random pings on the internet that are browsing for open ports. I noticed while looking for other information that this laptop does reply to pings. I would like to stop this computer from replying to random pings ie I want my computer to run in stealth mode.
Why are our machines all set from the factory to this default setting.....to allowing our computers to reply to random pings on the internet? Isn't that dangerous for our computers and our security? How can I change the setting on my MacBook so that it runs in stealth mode?
MacBook, iOS 9.3.1, Version 10.6.8 Mac OS X
