Could you build this?
No A VPN service requires operating a globally distributed server infrastructure, TUN/TAP driver development, and deep low-level network protocol implementation.
What it would actually take: A commercial VPN requires multi-region server infrastructure running WireGuard or OpenVPN daemons, radius authentication, and automated routing. On the client side, it requires native mobile and desktop applications utilizing platform network extension APIs (NetworkExtension on iOS/macOS, VpnService on Android, Wintun on Windows) with kernel-level packet handling. Building this demands deep network engineering, systems programming, and high-availability operations expertise.
