Unfortunately if the other peer does drop icmp you > will still be in troubles. ...mmmhhh... i drop selectively ICMP traffic: pratically i rate-limit echo request/echo reply and accept some other types, i think this is a common setup: $IPT -A icmp-restricted -p icmp --fragment -j DROP $IPT -A icmp-restricted -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -m limit \ --limit 5/sec -j ACCEPT $IPT -A icmp-restricted -p icmp --icmp-type echo-reply -m limit \ --limit 5/sec -j ACCEPT $IPT -A icmp-restricted -p icmp --icmp-type time-exceeded -j ACCEPT $IPT -A icmp-restricted -p icmp --icmp-type destination-unreachable \ -j ACCEPT $IPT -A icmp-restricted -p icmp --icmp-type parameter-problem -j ACCEPT $IPT -A icmp-restricted -p icmp --icmp-type source-quench -j ACCEPT $IPT -A icmp-restricted -p icmp -j DROP But... AARRGGHHH!!! ICMP are dropped in INPUT and OUTPUT chains for openvpn interfeces, i've never minded that. Ops, many thanks!!! -- dott.
