## What it is
NetBare is an Android library for capturing, blocking, and injecting network packets using a VPN-based local proxy with a customizable VirtualGateway layer. It supports HTTP/HTTPS (via self-signed certificates) and HTTP2 interception through pluggable interceptors.

## Use cases
- capture network packets on android
- intercept and modify http requests in an android app
- debug https traffic with ssl interception
- block or rewrite network packets on android
- build a custom android network proxy or firewall
- inspect http2 traffic from apps

## When to choose
- you need low-level packet capture or injection on Android
- you want to intercept, block, or modify HTTP/HTTPS traffic inside your own app
- you need a customizable interceptor chain over VPN-forwarded traffic

## When to avoid
- you only need standard HTTP client networking without interception
- you need packet capture on desktop or server platforms
- you cannot or will not install a self-signed certificate for SSL interception
- you need a maintained solution with frequent updates
