 The value is used to ignore redirects sent by routers not to disable sending
 of redirects if you happen to be running as a router.

No, you're talking about net.inet.icmp.rediraccept

net.inet.ip.redirect should be the right button to control the sending of 
icmp redirects.

Hi list,

I am trying to implement a transparent proxy using the pf rdr action but my 
clients ignore the icmp redirects that are send out by the openbsd box. I 
tried to get it to use adress translation instead, but no avail.


The box is set to router mode (net.inet.ip.forwarding=1) and sending of 
redirects is switched off (net.inet.ip.redirect=0) but shamelessly ignored.


Any ideas?

You don't give very much information.

What version of OpenBSD are you running? 2.x? 3.x? 4.0?

How do you know they are not getting proxy'd?


If I had this problem, I would verify the syntax of the rdr rule. I 
would also make sure PF is enabled (pfctl -e). If you have all of these 
things correct, you clients should hit the proxy. Without more info, I 
don't know if anyone can help.
