Could you build this?
No The core value is a continuously updated proprietary dataset that maps IPs to VPN and proxy operators, which a builder cannot reproduce from public information.
What it would actually take: A real version requires a large, continuously refreshed IP intelligence dataset built from network measurements, probing, and partnerships, along with confidence scoring and historical tracking. That means large-scale data collection infrastructure, network research expertise, and ongoing operational effort, none of which a prompt-driven build provides.
