My impression from the last time we have been discussing TPROXY is that
the check for IP_TRANSPARENT on ingress doesn't serve any purpose [0].

The socket option only has effect on output, when there is a need to
source traffic from a non-local address.

Setting IP_TRANSPARENT requires CAP_NET_{RAW|ADMIN}, which grant a wider
range of capabilities than needed to build a transparent proxy app. This
is problematic because you to lock down your application with seccomp.

It seems it should be enough to use a port number from a privileged
range, if you want to ensure that only the designed process can receive
the proxied traffic.

Or, alternatively, instead of using socket lookup + IP_TRANSPARENT
check, get the socket from sockmap and apply control to who can update
the BPF map.

Thanks,
