Hi, as many of you know AS level data (AS number and name) on Relay Search/onionoo is using a rather outdated geoip database from maxmind. That is the reason why Relay Search displays inaccurate or no AS information for many relays. Recently the geoip database used by tor (not Relay Search) switched [1] from maxmind's db to ipfire [2] for license reasons. Since tor only needs the country level information in only ships country level informat (but ipfire's geoip also contains AS level data). Today I read about the idea to remove AS level data from onionoo/Relay Search on the gitlab issue: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/metrics/relay-search/-/issues/40004#note_2730948 If you also have an opinion on whether Relay Search should improve its AS level information instead of removing it completely now is probably a good time to state it - especially if your tools depend on it. kind regards, nusenu [1] https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/tor/-/issues/40224 [2] https://location.ipfire.org/ -- https://nusenu.github.io
