@volpeon yee I remember doing similar things, and very cursed things, like basically this project and writing a 'woof' encryption plugin where every character was encoded as X amount of Woofs and then a Bark, where X was the ascii character ID.. so "o" would translate to 111x "Woof" and 1x "Bark". It worked flawlessly and looked extremely confusing and overwhelming in wireshark hahah
This time around I'm using Websockets, so kind of similar but arguably more foolproof, adding encryption later
