Could you build this?

Partial The client wrapper and UI can be vibe-coded, but managing Windows network adapters (TUN/TAP, Wintun), routing tables, and reverse-engineering Firefox VPN's WireGuard backend requires low-level networking skills.

What it would actually take: The software is a native Windows app interfacing with the WireGuard protocol using the high-performance Wintun driver to manage virtual network interfaces and route system traffic. The challenging components are reverse-engineering Mozilla's authentication/server-provisioning endpoints and reliably managing Windows network routing and DNS leak prevention across connection state changes. It requires experience in systems programming, reverse engineering, and Windows network stack configuration.
