Could you build this?
No Writing a high-performance tun2socks network engine with raw virtual TUN interfaces, Linux io_uring asynchronous I/O, and custom TCP/IP stack handling in Zig requires advanced low-level networking expertise.
What it would actually take: The stack requires Zig/C low-level system programming, Linux kernel tun/tap device interfaces, manual TCP/IP packet parsing/assembly (or lwIP integration), and io_uring ring-buffer event loops. The hard parts are zero-copy stateful TCP connection tracking, UDP translation, and high-throughput memory management without memory leaks or race conditions under heavy concurrent network load.
