Could you build this?

No Intercepting local TLS handshakes and performing ClientHello packet fragmentation or SNI rewriting to bypass deep packet inspection requires specialized networking and socket-level programming.

What it would actually take: The architecture relies on an embedded local proxy (custom Nginx build or Go/Rust networking daemon) combined with WinDivert or raw socket packet manipulation to intercept outbound port 443 traffic. The hard parts are splitting the TLS ClientHello TCP packets mid-stream, dynamic SNI rewriting without breaking certificate handshakes, and integrating transparent OS-level routing. This demands deep expertise in network protocols, TLS specifications, and low-level socket programming.
