Could you build this?
No Creating a censorship-circumvention Smart DNS with dual-relay architecture for Iranian sanctions requires deep networking expertise, SNI proxying, and operational knowledge of circumventing sovereign DPI firewalls.
What it would actually take: Requires orchestrating split-tunnel Smart DNS infrastructure using CoreDNS/dnsmasq coupled with an SNI proxy (like sniproxy or HAProxy) split across domestic and foreign VPS instances. The hard part is evading active DPI probing, IP blocklists, and DNS hijacking enforced by the national firewall. Requires deep Linux systems engineering, routing/iptables configuration, and ongoing operational maintenance against state censors.
