sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.d/99-hardening.conf

Load kernel parameters from a config file

Reads the file and applies every net.ipv4, net.ipv6, or fs setting inside, the standard way to activate persistent hardening changes. Settings in /etc/sysctl.d/ load automatically at boot, so this applies them without rebooting. Files later in the directory override earlier ones.
