Could you build this?

No NordVPN represents a commercial VPN service requiring a massive global network infrastructure, specialized network protocol implementations (NordLynx/WireGuard), anti-censorship routing, and client applications across all platforms.

What it would actually take: Building NordVPN requires deploying and managing thousands of bare-metal and virtual servers in tens of countries with BGP routing, custom WireGuard/OpenVPN tunnel daemons, and automated zero-log RAM-disk deployment. It requires building native client applications with custom TAP/TUN virtual network adapters, DNS leak protection, kill switches, and anti-DDoS/obfuscation protocols.
