Prerequisite
✅ You Need One VM(Virtual Machine) (Here I am using Redhat VM in VirtualBox)that has internet connectivity.
Solution 🔥
✅ Here we need to add the Rule in our OS.😉.
Step-1)Check how many Rules are there
route -n
- Here you can see there are some rules added, so if we want some customization for our setup, First we have to remove the 0.0.0.0 rule.
Step-2)Removing Rule
route del -net 0.0.0.0
- As You can see 0.0.0.0 removed from the destination
- Now if you tried to ping 172.217.166.0 (GOOGLE IP) it won’t work because we have removed 0.0.0.0
Step-3)Adding Google Ip
- So, now we need to add Google Ip.
route add -net 172.217.166.0(GOOGLE_IP) netmask 255.255.255.0 gw .192.168.0.1(Gateway) enp0s3(ETH Card)
- Here we need to type Google Ip in the net, after that netmask and finally, we have to type Gateway.
Output 😎
- As you can see we are pinging Google Ip.
- Here you can see this is one of the Facebook IP, and it is not pingable because we haven’t set a rule for this Ip
