Is it possible to manipulate traffic / drop it? A long time ago, I've been trying to build transparent tunnels, so that the user does not have to configure anything special to use it. The biggest difficulty I faced was to drop the original traffic to only allow the newly crafted one.

Is this something that your library helps with?.

You can't drop the original traffic using the library. You could capture it, modify it and send it though. That + some iptables rules to drop the original traffic would be sufficient I guess.
