Could you build this?

Partial An AI coding assistant can scaffold the basic SOCKS5 proxy server and Android UI, but reliable CDN-edge stream multiplexing and Android VpnService tun2socks routing require deep networking expertise.

What it would actually take: The backend proxy daemon is built in Go or Rust to handle SOCKS5 handshakes and multiplex TCP/UDP traffic into HTTP/2 chunked streams disguised as normal web traffic through CDN edges. The Android client requires an implementation of `VpnService` integrated with a native `tun2socks` C/Rust layer to intercept system-wide IP packets, handle MTU fragmentation, and route raw network flows over the CDN tunnel without dropping connections.
