Could you build this?

No Operating a global residential and mobile proxy network requires acquiring, orchestrating, and legally maintaining millions of residential IP endpoints across 190+ countries, which cannot be vibe-coded.

What it would actually take: A real proxy provider requires an SDK integration model (or agreements with app developers) to legally route traffic through consumer mobile/home IP connections, paired with a massive worldwide relay infrastructure. The backend demands high-capacity distributed egress nodes, BGP routing, bandwidth metering, abuse detection/anti-fraud systems, and protocol conversion (HTTP/SOCKS5). It requires specialized telecommunications infrastructure, network engineering, and complex legal/compliance operations.
