Could you build this?

Partial A PHP reverse-proxy shell with request inspection is buildable, but protection quality depends on a curated, continuously updated ruleset of known exploit signatures and on security expertise to avoid false positives and bypasses.

What it would actually take: The proxy itself (HTTP forwarding, request parsing, logging) can be vibe-coded in Go, Rust, or Nginx/Lua. The hard part is the detection logic: it needs a maintained ruleset along the lines of OWASP CRS plus tuning against real traffic, which requires security research and ongoing threat intelligence.
