I think you might be saying to add rules like `iptables -A OUTPUT -d <vpnserver>/32 -j ACCEPT`, `iptables -A OUTPUT -o vpn0 -j ACCEPT`, and `iptables -A OUTPUT -j DROP`.

I'm a bit confused though because you only mentioned one rule and that's three. But also, I think using that combination of rules would result in dropping all traffic that someone attempts this attack against - in other words, turning it into a denial-of-service attack instead of a loss-of-confidentiality one.

But there's no technical need to drop the maliciously-routed traffic, is there?
