How to block icmp messages with a cisco router

We have some hosts or a host that seems to disconnect all the vpn client on my network.

I took a look at the server logs and here what is shows

22116      11:01:17.531532      MY_IP      DEST_IP      TCP      53025 > pptp [SYN]
Seq=0 Win=8192 Len=0 MSS=1460 WS=2 TSV=4447122 TSER=0

So it seems that some clients seend some icmp destination unreachable on the server. The server somehow close all the connections.

Is it possible to block those icmp send messages with a cisco 800 series.

Like deny icmp all all ? Is it going to work ??

Thanks

What you see in the logs is not icmp-traffic, it is tcp-traffic to your pptp-port (1723). Unless you use pptp-based vpn you can simply block all incoming pptp-traffic.

access-list YOURINBOUNDACL deny tcp any SERVERIP eq 1723.
