Drawing an anonymity network onto a globe: the Interactive section, and the open-data walls we hit
The docs site now has an Interactive section holding three pieces, all centred on Tor. The one carrying the most data is the Tor Relay Globe, which plots nearly ten thousand running relays onto a sphere. Over sixty percent of them sit in the United States, Germany and the Netherlands.
Building it meant checking more than twenty public datasets. Six made it in. Almost nothing failed for technical reasons: the APIs mostly worked and the formats were clean. What stopped us was terms that do not allow redistribution.
