Comment (by mrphs):

 I wonder how many of these are Orbot installations which were sitting on
 Android devices and now are suddenly connecting back to the network.
 Iranian users do have a habit of having all the censorship circumvention
 tools installed and try to see which one works everyday they pick up their
 phones. I asked Nathan to see if he can give us any statistics on how many
 active installation (through Google play store) we currently have in IR.
