Ask HN: Is AWS suddenly blocking all ping requests?

4 pointsschappim2 comments

I can no longer ping any of my 23 instances on AWS in ap-southeast-2 from Telstra/Optus. Anyone else noticed anything similar?

I can ping my aws hosts from a VPC on a different hosting company, so it's unlikely to be all of AWS.

Tried the Telstra and Vocus Looking Glass services - both can ping my AWS servers.

(note: Optus' Looking Glass doesn't seem to be returning results)

Works for me, EU to ap-southeast-2, network acls or security groups changed?
