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
  • 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  539934 (20.20 %)
Russia  439028 (16.43 %)
United States  409973 (15.34 %)
Germany  179920 (6.73 %)
France  96633 (3.62 %)
Indonesia  90746 (3.40 %)
United Kingdom  72408 (2.71 %)
Ukraine  66316 (2.48 %)
India  54570 (2.04 %)
Netherlands  49039 (1.83 %)

This table shows the top-10 countries by estimated number of directly-connecting clients. These numbers are derived from directory requests counted on directory authorities and mirrors. Relays resolve client IP addresses to country codes, so that numbers are available for most countries. For further details see these questions and answers about user statistics.
