I am unable to ping any public website like google/yahoo from my private azure VM where traffic is routed through NAT Gateway.
I am able to browse the website from browser but unable to ping.
If NAT gateway is not supporting ICMP protocol then please share the official documentation for the same.
Hello @Sujit Zanje ,
As mentioned by @Sedat SALMAN below in his answer, NAT gateway supports TCP and UDP protocols only. ICMP isn't supported and is expected to fail.
It is documented in the below docs:
