Re: [tor-relays] GeoIP

Hi Fred,

Fred Rauch:

Where does Atlas get its GeoIP data from? Can this be corrected? It's not a huge issue but it would be nice for the correct country to be displayed.

Atlas is a JavaScript application that gets all the data from Onionoo [1] backend. And Onionoo in its turn gets [2] data from MaxMind's GeoIP database [3]. Thus it's as reliable as MaxMind GeoIP is reliable. Agree, it's not godd. Current status of this (or closely related) issue you can track at #19437 [4].
