   Hi, thanks for trying out my little tool. Dropping packets (as in, TCP packets) ist not possible. It's a TCP proxy and therefore works on streams of data. The proxy does not see packets, you are reading data through file descriptors.

   Dropping packets while mitm-ing a connection is quite involved, you would need to keep track of sequence numbers and modify every subsequent packet. This is beyond the scope of this tool.
