 Would it make sense for us to have an identity key (or something similar)
 for Snowflake proxies to allow them to identify themselves to the broker
 service.

 This would allow us to later build reputation systems for the proxies and
 distribute snowflake proxies in a smart way based of stability/uptime. The
 downside from a privacy perspective is that the broker can follow the
 Snowflake proxies' movements on the internet, which means we might want to
 make it optional.
