Re: [tor-relays] Exit Node Geographical Location

[Chris Adams <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Interesting...

Don't exit nodes with equal bandwidth have equal chance of being utilised on a circuit? Why is your US exit being utilised more?

Looking at the map, I thought Canada could do with a few more exits?

Should geo diversity be related to numbers of internet users in that country? Ie, Canada, ~1/2 population of UK, so should run approximately 1/2 as many exits at least? Or am I overthinking this?

Are there other legal advantages to running an exit node in another country? Such as choosing a country with which your own country has no extradition laws? In case something really bad happened.

Regards,

Ive got exits in the US, France ,Finland (dead) and Bulgaria but its v difficult to find any exit providers in the Far East - I have relays in Bangalore and Singapore (which gets hit pretty hard) but if you do find a provider out East let us know

P.s Bangalore is under utilised - 60mb/s but has barely used up 1Gb in 2 weeks a as oppsed to US exit which is doing 1TB a day now at 60mb/s with a 1000 connections most of the time

We are supposed to go for geo diversity but usuage remains low for me in more isolated areas  e.g Bangalore,Africa
