    This is a pretty excellent use case for PoW. I could see this being adopted by other DDoS services, server stacks, and eventually make its way into openwrt, pfsense etc.

        If Netgate added this to the internet protocols, no other device would be able to communicate with pfSense, unless they also used this special network stack.

        I mean technically that’s also the case with the Tor protocol.
