    Using a TUN device for this is a really cool idea! And the "How it was made" section is one of the best things I've read in a Github README.

    I'm building something called Subtrace [1] but it can intercept both incoming and outgoing requests. It looks like we converged on the same interface for starting the program too lol [2].

    Subtrace's purpose is kinda different from httptap's though (we're more observability / monitoring for cloud backend services). Subtrace uses a different approach instead of a TUN device -- using Seccomp BPF to intercept the socket(2), connect(2), listen(2), and other related syscalls, all TCP connections get proxied through Subtrace. To show your backend requests, we repurposed the Chrome DevTools Network tab to work in the browser like any other app. The automatic TLS interception is very similar to httptap tho :)
