Hi,

I haven't found the commit where you actually added
/etc/sysctl.d/tcp_timestamps.conf.

Does this implementation involve anything besides
/etc/sysctl.d/tcp_timestamps.conf?

recommends:

> To be on the safe side, add the following 2 lines to your firewall script:


> iptables -A INPUT -p icmp --icmp-type timestamp-request -j DROP
> iptables -A OUTPUT -p icmp --icmp-type timestamp-reply -j DROP


What do you think?

Cheers,
Patrick
