Domain access (ping) from outside server and not from inside

Help! (Home for newbies)

hi,
I am on a VPS, have Virtualmin with some domains of my own.

For some time, I mentioned that internal processes cannot see their own domain. Let us take the domain yanfouom.net : you can reach it from anywhere by a ping, but not when I am connected in a terminal on the VPS ! I made a mistake somewhere.
Can you please help me ? Thanks per advance.
Here are some facts :

In a terminal on the server, you type :

x@vps296125:~$ ping yanfouom.net
you get:

PING yanfouom.net (51.255.197.10) 56(84) bytes of data.
^C
— yanfouom.net ping statistics —
7 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 6047ms"

If I type the command :
>netstat -taupen | grep 53
I get :

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:465 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 0 12537 -
tcp 0 0 51.255.197.10:53 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 107 11070 -

Assuming you are using iptables - have you “blocked” ICMP?

thank you for your idea / suggestion, No I do not have such line in iptables. I tested without some lines. Fail2bain removed also is not the solution.
I tested the server in rescue mode (without the firewall mainly) and it works , but in “normal” mode it does not.
It shoud come from elsewhere.

I saw by iptable -L that I had a problem, I removed that line and all is correct - thanks to all !
