    How would you add it to pfSense, or any other firewall?

    Tor can add it to their service, and all clients that wants to use the Tor service needs to implement the same feature. If Netgate added this to the internet protocols, no other device would be able to communicate with pfSense, unless they also used this special network stack.

      I mean technically that’s also the case with the Tor protocol.
