Comment (by irl):

 Was there a reason for removing "snowflake-available-count"? This number
 is going to be the same as the sum of all country codes in "snowflake-
 ips", but it would probably be nice to have this in addition to be able to
 see at a glance.

 I can follow your thought processes and I think that these metrics
 described in comment:19, and also snowflake-available-count from
 comment:14 would be OK to make public. Nothing is jumping out as
 particularly sensitive.

 Is it possible to run two snowflake proxies from the same IP address?
 There does seem to be an implied limit of 1 proxy per IP address in your
 metrics descriptions. Maybe from a perspective of whether a bridge is
 burned or not, the fact that two processes may be running on the same IP
 doesn't matter because they would both be burned together?
