## What it is
SpoofDPI is a lightweight, cross-platform proxy tool written in Go that circumvents Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) based internet censorship through packet manipulation. It runs as a local proxy with a built-in DNS resolver, domain-based allow/ignore policies, and TOML configuration.

## Use cases
- bypass DPI-based internet censorship
- access blocked websites behind deep packet inspection firewalls
- run a local anti-censorship proxy on macOS or Linux
- circumvent ISP throttling and filtering
- avoid censorship without a full VPN
- neutralize deep packet inspection techniques

## When to choose
- you need a fast, lightweight DPI circumvention tool with minimal setup
- you want a proxy-based alternative to VPNs for censorship bypass
- you need cross-platform support including FreeBSD
- you want domain-based allow/ignore policy control

## When to avoid
- you need full traffic encryption like a VPN provides
- you need mobile support on iOS or Android
- your censorship uses methods other than DPI
- you need a GUI-only experience
