Users

We estimate the number of users by analyzing the requests induced by clients to relays and bridges.

  • Relay users
  • Bridge users by country
  • Bridge users by transport
  • Bridge users by country and transport
  • Bridge users by IP version
  • BridgeDB requests by requested transport
  • BridgeDB requests by distributor
  • Top-10 countries by relay users
  • Top-10 countries by possible censorship events
  • Top-10 countries by bridge users
  • “The anonymous Internet”
Country Mean daily users
Iran  50453 (28.59 %)
Russia  45491 (25.78 %)
United States  27869 (15.79 %)
Germany  4924 (2.79 %)
China  3900 (2.21 %)
United Kingdom  2913 (1.65 %)
France  2901 (1.64 %)
India  2028 (1.15 %)
Turkmenistan  1917 (1.09 %)
Netherlands  1826 (1.04 %)

This table shows the top-10 countries by estimated number of clients connecting via bridges. These numbers are derived from directory requests counted on bridges. Bridges resolve client IP addresses of incoming directory requests to country codes, so that numbers are available for most countries. For further details check the documentation on Reproducible Metrics.
