It's not quite that straight forward, as the bwauths don't make a direct connection to a relay, they build multiple tor circuits through a relay. > *) there is no bw auth in Asia in reality, current locations: > +----------+-----------+---------------+---------+ > | nickname | city_name | region_name | country | > +----------+-----------+---------------+---------+ > | moria1 | Cambridge | Massachusetts | us | > | gabelmoo | Erlangen | Bavaria | de | > | longclaw | NULL | NULL | us | > | maatuska | NULL | NULL | se | > +----------+-----------+---------------+---------+ FWIW this may be misleading, as a bwauth does not need to be located in the same place as a DirAuth. maatuska's bwauth is in Belgium. -tom _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
