Could you build this?
Partial A desktop GUI wrapper for Clash proxy workflows (managing configs, routing rules, and toggling connections) is vibe-codeable using Tauri or Electron, but integrating deeply with OS system proxy settings, TUN/TAP virtual adapters, and native network routing requires delicate native permissions and platform-specific networking logic.
What it would actually take: The application typically uses Tauri or Electron for the frontend paired with an embedded core daemon (such as Mihomo or Clash Meta) in Go/Rust. The difficult aspects are managing platform-specific TUN device interfaces, network extension drivers (especially on macOS and Windows without tripping antivirus), and handling DNS leak prevention across sleep/wake cycles. It requires engineers who understand low-level networking, TUN/TAP virtual interfaces, and OS network stack APIs.
