Comment:

 We discussed with @ioerror implementing a series of strategies for
 detecting the probes IP address.

 In sequence we will attempt to detect the probe IP address via:

 * If Tor is running and we have access to the control port via "getinfo
 address"

 * By performing a UDP traceroute and consider the first hop in public IP
 space as the IP address of the probe

 * By using a geoip lookup service (for example what is detailed in #8191)

 @ioerror:
 What should be the destination IP and port of the UDP traceroute?
