[guardian-dev] Using Android VPN settings to secure all outbound traffic (without it actually being a VPN)

[Chris Ballinger]

I've been trying to port
tun2socks<https://code.google.com/p/badvpn/wiki/tun2socks>to OS X for
an unrelated
project <https://github.com/chrisballinger/Tether-iOS> but I believe it
solves the same problem. Here is the meat:
https://code.google.com/p/badvpn/source/browse/trunk/tun2socks/tun2socks.c

Might be easier to use the NDK than do a full rewrite in Java.
