[Sis-SCPS-INTEREST] divert sockets VS TUN

[Walid Assafiri]

Hi guys, 

I’m just wondering why divert sockets on linux is not recommended (As mentioned in the user pdf document). I found that when using TUN that the packets traverse iptables more than once and this is not what I want. Also, can divert sockets be used on linux using iptables rather than the older ipchains? What changes would need to be made?

Thanks.

Kind Regards,
Walid
