Could you build this?

Partial The settings UI, blocklist management, and log views are vibe-codeable. The core on-device DNS filtering and WireGuard tunnel depend on Apple's Network Extension framework, which is niche and hard to debug without deep iOS networking knowledge.

What it would actually take: The app needs a NEDNSProxyProvider or packet-tunnel Network Extension written in Swift, with DoH and DNSCrypt clients and a WireGuard integration. Apple entitlements and App Store review for VPN-style apps are also required. Building it takes an iOS engineer experienced with networking, plus real-device testing.
