I will take this opportunity to make a suggestion that I meant to
make years ago: consider extracting the logic for setting the WiFiDog
filter/redirection rules into an external program or programs that can
be implemented as shell scripts.  That will make it easier to modify the
rules and to port to other operating systems.  I wished for that when I
ported WiFiDog to NetBSD & PF years ago.  I am sure that I can turn up
my patches if you're interested to see how I did it.
