Could you build this?
Partial While basic proxying and routing in Bun are simple to assemble, production-grade reverse proxying with custom WAF rules, real-time ACME TLS automation, bot challenge execution, and robust network security requires careful systems engineering.
What it would actually take: A real version requires Bun or Go handling raw TCP/TLS connections, integration with Let's Encrypt via ACME client protocols, an in-memory or Redis-backed sliding-window rate limiter, and a JS challenge/fingerprinting engine. The hard parts are edge-case HTTP/WebSocket proxy buffering, high-throughput memory efficiency under bot floods, and accurate IP/ASN/Bot heuristic classification.
