+The feature should also add support for including only packet capture data that
+is relevant to the test being run. This means that the pcap should not contain
+all the data sniffed on the users machine, but only that which was generated
+and intended to be received by ooniprobe.

+This can probably be implemented by setting up a tun/tap device and routing all
+the ooniprobe traffic through it and only capturing data sent and received from
+that device. The task for the student will also be that of doing research into
+what are possible strategies for doing this. <b><a
