   One request per minute.

      Or a lot more with IPv6.

         Most connections or VPS have a shared 64bit prefix that acts similar to an IPv4 address in that it's easy to block.

         Yes, you get 64 more bits to make whatever addresses you want, but the prefix is still your fingerprint.

            Could even do /32 if they want to make it as scarce as ipv4
