Intercept, anonymise, spoof a reply

[what-aboot]

Technology

Using Android 10, Oneplus 5T, currently on Blokada, moving to Rethink.

Reason

I have built a personal blocklist on Blockada. One site I deny is google ads. A particular app I use fails when it makes a call to say Google ads and find it blocked.

Request

What would be nice is if Rethink were to intercept the call and reply with a spoofed reply so the app continues. The spoofed reply can be null ads, or ads about rethink or something. Yes, I realise the posibilities and challenges are endless.

It's a thought.

Suggestion

• Intercept the request,
• anonymise it
• allow it to make its connection
• trap its response,
• remove/replace adverts,
• send the modified response back to the app?
