#### Description:
This is distinct from #2489 and #3320
ipfs is opening outgoing connections at such a rate that it repeatedly triggered the network scan detector of my hoster.
The cheap workaround for now uses `iptables -m limit --limit 12/min -p tcp --sport 4001 --syn ...`
It would be much nicer if the ipfs daemon could be configured to limit itself.
