 **Update 2013-10:** This guide used to update ''/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/accept_redirects'', but now uses ''*'' in place of ''all''.

+Or permanently by adding the following to ''/etc/sysctl.conf''. Again, be on the safe side and explicitly name your interfaces:

 net/ipv4/conf/all/accept_redirects = 0
 net/ipv4/conf/all/send_redirects = 0
+net/ipv4/conf/eth0/accept_redirects = 0
+net/ipv4/conf/eth0/send_redirects = 0
