Just noticed that my public IP assigned to the Deco is pingable.  Please give an option to turn this off!!   I don't want the world and it's dog to know that this IP address has things on it.  

 

Come on TP-Link!!!! Basic network security! :-(

@mjkienzle I've just set up some M4s, found that they are pingable from the internet, and arrived at this thread. Seems a year has gone by and nothing's happened. Any plans?
If I had known about this beforehand I wouldn't have bought these units, but I really didn't expect this

@Hades 

 

Hello, new feature will be added via the firmware upgrade; the estimated release time is unsure now, it is suggested to keep an eye on Deco app or official website for more updates. 

 

Good day.

This should be optional. Seems like now it also block ICMPv6 which quite important for IPv6 enabled devices.
