Could you build this?

Partial While basic proxy clients in Rust are straightforward, building a reliable daemon for resource-constrained OpenWRT systems requires low-level Linux networking, cross-compilation, and TUN/TAP routing setup.

What it would actually take: Built in Rust using Tokio, cross-compiled for multiple MIPS/ARM targets via the OpenWRT SDK. Hard aspects include handling direct netlink manipulation, managing low memory/CPU footprints on consumer router SOCs, and configuring kernel-level iptables/nftables and TUN interfaces for transparent proxy routing.
