Could you build this?
Partial While domain blocking lists and basic DNS/network intercept code for ESP32 can be written with AI assistance, embedded C/C++ firmware development on Xtensa architecture with tight memory constraints requires hands-on embedded systems knowledge and physical hardware debugging.
What it would actually take: Requires an ESP32 microcontroller running custom C/C++ or ESP-IDF firmware. It implements a DNS sinkhole or packet filter with memory-efficient data structures (like Bloom filters or Trie) to fit thousands of Russian domain rules within limited ESP32 SRAM. Building this requires embedded firmware development, network protocol debugging (LWIP stack), and physical hardware testing.
