Hello, There have been around 25 000 Tor users from Finland. The number of users is very stable. Except right now I see a spike of 200 000 Tor users connected from Finland. Number of users starts to increase on Tuesday 2021-12-21.

For instance, see numbers from Sweden: https://metrics.torproject.org/userstats-relay-country.html?start=2021-10-13&end=2022-01-11&country=se&events=off Someone could speculate that this is some kind of test carried out from Finnish IP range or a bot network infecting only Finnish machines like poorly configured home routers and installing malware communicating through Tor. Furthermore, there was known Tor censorship in Russia in December, see https://blog.torproject.org/tor-censorship-in-russia/. The fact we know is the increasing number of Tor users from Finland. Do we actually know something concrete behind this?
