As far as I know, all of the programs like that are programs that run as a process in the middle, so it introduces an overhead (because they are in userspace and have to receive the packet and then process it and finally forward it), whereas if it was processed by netfilter it would be quicker and more efficient (actually some testing and comparisons should be done, but in principle it ought to be so). However it seems that there doesn't exist any solution in netfilter. Can you give me a reference (e.g. documentation and guides) to patch netfilter with such functionality?
