CIAO, ADFENO Lovely that you send your story to me :)
If my understanding is right, you would just set your Iptalbes to block the ping. There a bunch of tutorials for writing Iptables commands, whereas you need to have a little bit of well logic thinking (but that's amazing that I enjoy it).
I don't mean I use IPTables to replace DNSMasq. As I see it, Iptables can never function as what DNSMasq does. DNSmasq is just enable those local hostname if you want to have one for your local computer/server in your LAN. So if the DNSmasq is set up, other people can visit your inet server via your local hostname from WAN.
That's it, I don't need this function and I suppose many of you don't want as well. So why make this service running and make 3 ports open for it?
Cheers
