There is a Maxmind GeoIP database on country-level, and one on "city-level" that gives the wrong impression of accuracy. The country level database is 680kb, the city-level database is 30 MB. As far as I remember, the size was the main reason for not using it. I don't know if the two are interchangeable per node, and if metrics supports finer granularity when reported. Vidalia in the past used remote service lookups to avoid shipping with a 30MB database. Also, there's probably a lot of anonymity issues hidden here, especially with small countries/low usage? -- Moritz Bartl https://www.torservers.net/ _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
