Hi,

I usually disable all redirects on all Linux hosts.
| # Do not accept ICMP redirects (prevent MITM attacks)
| net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_redirects = 0
| # Do not send ICMP redirects (we are not a router)
| net.ipv4.conf.all.send_redirects = 0

This is a grave bug to enable all ICMP redirects unconditionally. I
would probably understand the need to be enabled *only* on tun/tap
devices managed by OpenVPN but for a good technical reason. Care to
explain more?

Thanks
