Right, your proposal is to disable them. Even so why
net.ipv4.conf.all.send_redirects and not specific tun/tap devices?
Indeed all net devices have send_redirects=1 by default.

On Debian this entry is commented in /etc/sysctl.conf. Anyone can
remove # to disable it, but it seems this doesn't have any effect if
it is enabled on specific net devices (ie. I get ICMP redirects from
ovpn tap device). Could this be a bug in kernel?

Thanks
