Alice is traveling from Brazil to America. An unexpected storm delays her connections forcing her to overnight in a location with no network or cell access. When she lands, she turns on her phone and connects to the first available network that provides data. Unfortunately, this network routes traffic to an authorization server until she agrees to the network terms, then provides minimal connection capacities. While connecting back to her home server, the connection is proxied and limited to only well known TCP ports, slow and routinely drops providing only partial results to the client.

<strike>Bob runs a small service on AWS that provides free cat facts to users. The service has a user base of 100 or so users. While Bob is on vacation, Reddit, 4chan and 9gag discover his cat facts server and sign up for alerts. How do we prevent Bob from having a heart attack when he gets his AWS bill?</strike> Not in scope.
