    Sounds like a great idea, and I'd love to see a way to make it work.
    As far as I'm aware, though, one difficulty with such an approach
    would appear to be dealing with incoming packets: I believe netfilter
    gets invoked before the packet is demultiplexed enough to be aware what
    process/uid the packet is destined for, and so it's not clear to me how
    to do per-process or per-uid filtering.  I'd love to see a solution...
