Partial Config-level proxy middleware is buildable, but reliable L4 TCP protection and secure edge defense require deep networking and security expertise to avoid bypasses and performance problems.
What it would actually take: The HTTP-layer pieces (Traefik plugins, Caddy modules, NGINX configuration or modules) can be vibe-coded, but correctness is the hard part. Building it well requires expertise in reverse proxy internals, TLS and HTTP parsing edge cases, and TCP-level connection handling under load. A real version needs security engineers to threat-model and test the filtering, plus benchmarking and fuzzing infrastructure, likely in Go or Rust.
