so user either has a malware proxy running requests without being noticed or voluntarily signed up as a proxy to make extra $ off their home connection. Either way I dont care if their IP is blocked. Only problem is if users behind CGNAT get their IP blocked then legitimate users may later be blocked. edit: ah yes another person above mentioned VPN's thats a good possibility, also another vector is users on mobile can sell their extra data that they dont use to 3rd parties. probably many more ways to acquire endpoints.

“Known IP addresses” to me implies an infrequently changing list of large datacenter ranges. Maintaining a dynamic list (along with any metadata required for throttling purposes) of individual IPs is a different undertaking with higher level of effort. Of course, if you don’t care about affecting genuine users then it is much simpler. One could say it’s collateral damage and show a message suggesting to boycott companies and/or business practices that prompted these measures.
