alt Hacker NewsI don't quite get the reason for sniffing the packets. Wouldn't it be simpler to just run multiple VMs on one host to be multi tenant?

It would definitely be simpler, however the routing issue still stands. You would need to have a public IP for every VM, which is getting less practical. The MAC-based proxy makes it so we only need one IP and we can worry about the routing within our platform instead.
