This works reasonably well.
Unfortunately, the entire rule gets locked down when the rate is exceeded,
so you may lock yourself out too. (It automatically unlocks when the
hammering stops and your rate interval expires, and most hammer scripts move
on to a new IP when it stops responding, so it's not the end of the world).

Request: It would be really nice if pfsense could limit the connection-rate
*per IP*.
