// but with iptables rules - use `--socket-exists` as a proxy for "is this a forwarded packet" vs "is this originating from
	// a local node socket". If the latter, outside the pod in the host netns, redirect that traffic to a hardcoded/custom proxy
	// healthcheck port, just like we used to. Otherwise, we can't assume it's local-node privileged traffic, and will capture and process it normally.
