Could you build this?
No Operating a distributed residential proxy and edge-scraping network requires complex peer-to-peer networking, NAT traversal, abuse prevention, and enterprise security compliance.
What it would actually take: The architecture involves client nodes (Chrome extension/desktop client in C++ or Rust) tunneling traffic through a centralized coordinator using custom overlay networks and STUN/TURN/ICE for NAT punch-through. The critical hard problems are routing orchestration, bandwidth rate-limiting, IP reputation scoring, fraud/botnet mitigation, and strict legal/security sandboxing to prevent abuse across thousands of consumer IP addresses.
