Support for bandwidth throttling, per key and/or for server overall
Hi,
We have a case that if the bandwidth of our outline server exceeds 10GB/s it will get banned by authorities. We need a feature to limit the bandwidth of the server (either per key or overall) so the servers do not get banned.
By "authority", do you mean the hosting provider or a network attacker? Is this a hard threshold (9 GB/s is fine) or a rough estimate (high usage draws attention)? What is the time interval over which this trigger applies?
Also, are you sure this number is correct? 10 GB/s (80 Gbps) is enormous. Even 10 Gbps is more than most VM hosts offer on a single instance.

By'authority' he means the smart filtering being used in the country. It monitors the traffic and if it find a lot of traffic going through a single IP, it will block it. So, no it's not the provider of the outline server/VM/etc. Nor an attacker. It's the network provider too the target users.
