Hello guys this blog it to tell you about how to create a setup where we can ping to google but won’t be able to ping Facebook.
Now let’s get started!!

📀STEP-1: Check the Default Route table.
cmd$: route -n

📀STEP-2: Now trying ping to Google.
cmd$: ping google.com

**As we can see, Ping to google was successful.

📀STEP-3: Now trying ping to facebook.
cmd$: ping facebook.com

As we can see, Ping to Facebook was also successful.

📀STEP-4: Now Deleting the route table as we have to create new.
cmd$: route del -net 0.0.0.0

📀STEP-5: Testing again if ping is possible after deleting route table?

**Hence proved we can’t without any route table.

📀STEP-5: Adding a new route table as we only need to ping to google.com but not to facebook.

cmd$:route add -net 172.217.167.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.0.1 enp0s3

We are adding a route table so that we will only be able to ping the google but not facebook.
While adding the new route, we need to pass some options
>> Which Ip range to be given.
>> Netmask or Genmask (same thing)
>> Gateway
>> NIC (which network-card to be used.)

📀STEP-6: Testing again if ping is possible to google or not?

📀STEP-7: Testing now if ping to facebook is possible or not?
