That's another neat use case indeed. Baptiste's auto RTT-sensing idea
would automatically figure out which IPs the firewall has throttled.

(I suspect, however, that WireGuard isn't designed long term to deal
with state sponsored firewalls and such; it's fingerprintable, as
discussed earlier on the mailing list. Good approaches to building
"unblockable VPNs" probably include something like symmetric crypto
only, so that there's no protocol or handshake, with large random
nonces (XChaPoly), forming messages that are indistinguishable from
random, which are then massaged into resembling valid gzip'd data, and
then placed below a valid HTTP header on port 80... or something wild
like this.)
