Could you build this?

Partial While basic tunneling clients can be straightforward to scaffold, building a reliable, secure TCP/UDP network tunnel requires low-level networking and NAT traversal handling.

What it would actually take: The system typically uses Go or Rust with wire protocols (such as Yamux, QUIC, or custom TCP frame muxing), alongside a public relay server. The tricky parts are handling connection heartbeats, packet loss, NAT punching (STUN/TURN), and low-latency multiplexing under real network constraints.
