var Rater *rate5.Limiter

// [...]
type Client struct {
        ID   string
        Conn net.Conn

        loggedin  bool
}

// Rate5 doesn't care where you derive the string used for ratelimiting
func (c Client) UniqueKey() string {
        if !c.loggedin {
                host, _, _ := net.SplitHostPort(c.Conn.RemoteAddr().String())
                return host
        }
        return c.ID
}

func (s *Server) handleTCP(c *Client) {
	// Returns true if ratelimited
	if Rater.Check(c) {
		c.Conn.Write([]byte("too many connections"))
		c.Conn.Close()
		return
	}
// [...]
}
