Research direction
Review existing FakeNet NG source code to understand how network services are emulated. Look at the list of websites (whatismyip, ipify) and determine expected responses (e.g., IP address text). Check if there are any comments in the issue or linked PRs for guidance. Implement new handlers for these services.
