Description
This PR addresses Issue #138 by improving the error handling logic within fakenet/diverters/windows.py.
Previously, when GetBestInterface failed (common in isolated VM environments), the tool would simply log "Failed calling GetBestInterface" and exit, leaving the user without clear direction.
Changes Proposed
Refactored get_best_interface to capture and log the specific Windows error code returned by
iphlpapi.Added comprehensive troubleshooting logs that guide the user to check for common configuration issues (e.g., missing network adapter, invalid IP, or disconnected Host-only/NAT interface).
