TunLoopbackApp¶

simple module TunLoopbackApp

Provides loopback functionality for a TUN interface by receiving packets, swapping source and destination addresses and ports, and sending them back through the same interface. Processes both network and transport layer headers to properly reverse packet direction. Useful for testing network configurations and protocols without requiring external connections.
