I'm talking about this, and repeat:

 1) bad connection to some node, because "goodguys" to block it, or owned it.
 2) captcha/blacklist, because "goodguys" generated lot of bad traffic
 3) forged DNS by "goodguys", using dnscrypt is not simple
 4) turn traffic to hostile territory, where is "goodguys" could control it.

It is necessary to give to lamer the opportunity to manage this.
