Could you build this?
Partial A basic ad blocker or DNS sinkhole is vibe-codeable, but building a true 'layer 2' network filtering system requires low-level network packet inspection and kernel/driver-level filtering.
What it would actually take: The system would need a low-level packet filtering engine (e.g., using eBPF, WinDivert, or custom TUN/TAP virtual network adapters) paired with rule engines (like AdGuard or EasyList parsers). The difficult challenge is intercepting and analyzing traffic at layer 2/3 without introducing significant latency or breaking TLS handshakes. It requires network systems programming in C or Rust.
