There are MANY cases for such an implementation. My service [1] implements such a thing, eBPF too, and my users do it for many valid reasons such as:

- shopping cart fraud

- geo-restricted content (think distributing laws)

- preventing abuse (think ticket scalpers)

- preventing cheating and multi-accounting (think gaming)

- preventing account takeovers (think 2FA trigger if fingerprint suddenly changed)

There is much more but yeah, this tech has its place. We cannot just assume everyone has a static website with a free for all content.

Why do you need eBPF for it? Why is IP filtering and header/cookie analysis not enough? What is shopping cart fraud? What is your false positive and false negative rate?
