This data comes from "extrainfo" descriptors published by relays. You can see them all at https://metrics.torproject.org/data.html Or said more clearly, The Tor Project does not have any logs, so the logs we don't have don't have IP addresses. :) You might find http://freehaven.net/anonbib/#wecsr10measuring-tor interesting for a discussion of the sorts of data the relays collect and why we think it's safe / worthwhile. And you might like https://research.torproject.org/techreports.html for the write-ups we've done about various ways to try to count users despite not having much info about anything. --Roger -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsusbscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
