    Is ICMP allowed by rules?
    Is your device allowed to answer ICMP?

    Hi @rogerIT.
    Greeting Forum, Device has the following hidden default firewall rules:
    "LAN to WAN is allowed, WAN to LAN is blocked".
    Please kindly create the rule allow WAN ICMP.
    Thanks

    I'd change the destination from "any" to "Zywall", if possible.

    I do not use Nebula, so maybe my suggestion was incorrect.
    Into 4.x firmwares, destination "Zywall" is one of the options, brecause "Any" will automatically exclude the Zyxel devices.
    IDK if in Nebula there's something similar.

    Moreover...
    In the default configuration for the USG devices (4.x and 5.x firmware) there's a specific rule for defining what's allowed from wan to firewall and what's not.
    ICMP/PING is not part of this rule. You can find something similar into your nebula config, then add the PING object to services group for allowing connection to firewall.

    Remember: more rules, more refined control.
    Less rules, faster operations

    Be smart and sometimes optimize (rethink) the rules is a good idea.
