steals matching ones before the application sees them, forwards or executes per the
client's instruction. Normal traffic is unaffected. Zero changes to existing services.

## Intended Use
@ -15,7 +14,6 @@ The core use case this demonstrates: persistence on a firewalled host by piggyba
on any already-permitted port (e.g. 80/443). Traffic is stolen at TC ingress before
the application sees it and never appears in its logs.

middleware (nginx, Caddy, HAProxy) with the correct SNI so routing works.
Middleware decrypts and forwards inner bytes to the plain TCP backend.

they come from the client packet. The daemon has no idea where to forward until
