Hello tor-relays,
I’m sharing a new open-source visualization tool for exploring Tor relay distribution and bandwidth over time (updated daily):
Live site: https://routefluxmap.1aeo.com
Open-source code: https://github.com/1aeo/routefluxmap
What it does:
Interactive world map of Tor relays, with relay presence and density visualized using bandwidth-weighted aggregation
Flow-style visualization based on the probability of traffic per relay, derived from each relay’s advertised bandwidth and consensus weight (not traffic tracing)
Historical snapshots built from Tor Collector / Onionoo data, covering 2007 through present
Country-level summaries showing relay count and aggregate bandwidth
Why this is useful for relay operators:
Provides a fast, high-level view of where Tor bandwidth is concentrated geographically
Helps identify broad shifts in relay distribution or bandwidth that may correlate with performance or reachability changes
Useful for gaining network-wide context when debugging issues that aren’t obvious from single-relay metrics alone
Implementation notes:
Static frontend built with Astro + React using Deck.gl and MapLibre
Data pipeline aggregates publicly available Tor network metadata into versioned historical snapshots
Feedback is welcome, particularly on which additional historical or aggregate views would be most useful for operators.
Significant inspiration and guidance from an open source and 7 year previously retired effort, TorFlow: https://github.com/unchartedsoftware/torflow
