ICMP does not use ports, so it's not working as tcp or udp would.

Check whether the target host allows incoming tcp/udp connections.

Also, because of the IP range you posted: If you are using a VPN, the client could be misconfigured. It could be that the VPN client is e.g. exposing a local SOCKS or HTTP/HTTPS proxy that Chrome ignores.

Sadly, even at its most permissive, the site is still ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE (which to me implies it's lower down Chrome's network stack).

If you make a Chrome bookmark pointing to the subnet address it always works.
