I have assumed that 95% of users don't have public addresses or have port forwarding. It's a connectivity problem, I think.

are these actual 6000 unique deployments? how are they counted?
are endpoints submitting a unique ID to the update endpoint for the counter to work?
(or are these counters just based on counting unique source IPs hitting the update endpoint? [within a day?])
do you have AS or country break downs for that number?

I think it's a count of update checks within a normal update-check window.

I DO have country information. Attached. (I removed the countries with fewer than 3 in case that could be used to identify them.) Countries greater than 100 are
