Hey guys, I noticed my guard/exit nodes seemed to be pushing much more traffic than usual during the first week of November. Happy as that made me (though it returned to the mean shortly thereafter), it got me to thinking -- does anyone know of an appropriate method for estimating a (rough) number of how many users per day make use of your node?
The only thing I can think of is extrapolating tor-arm's client locale usage summary when you have a guard flag (you know, the stat screen that shows number of connections by country-of-origin). Then I realized I don't know how reliable that would be, as tor is supposed to change routes every (correct me if I'm wrong) 15 minutes by default -- and I thought guard nodes were changed less frequently (or was it re-used more frequently)-- which sort of confounds my ability to estimate based on 15-minute-periods-per-day. Has anybody looked at this before and come up with a good method? Thanks! _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
