nostr.watch has relay country 

 Sweet, thanks! I will be incorporating those stats. Now just hoping to also get a breakdown of geos of where folks are connecting from. 

 Only way is to run a relay and geolocate IPs from requests, but you'd have a small sample size and lots of false positives. I think relay countries is a better indicator. I can give you stats from my servers, one sec. Not sure how helpful it will be. 

 Here's gleasonator.dev and ditto.pub

 Lot of fuckers from France in both cases. Oui oui 🥖 🇫🇷  

 You should have @jb55 run this on the damus relay:

apt install goaccess

wget https://download.db-ip.com/free/dbip-country-lite-2024-08.mmdb.gz

gunzip dbip-country-lite-2024-08.mmdb.gz

goaccess /var/log/nginx/access.log -o report.html --log-format=COMBINED --geoip-database=dbip-country-lite-2024-08.mmdb

This will give you a portable html file report with a full region breakdown pulled from nginx logs.

 I don't run nginx or any logging on my relay, I only run strfry with no logs. 

 You may not be logging but your VPS provider probably is. If your self hosting (ive seen your laptop closet) than I assume you're proxying via cloudflare  

 based 

 European VPN users. 

 One way to do an approximate analysis is to look at Google trends data 

https://trends.google.co.in/trends/explore?q=Nostr 

 Great idea! 

 As in which countries users are in?

Apple appstore offers data on active users per country. Ask the team.

For web clients I used Similarweb for traffic per country. Not sure how accurate that is though.  

 thats the neat part 

 I hope there no such reliable data, and all nostr users are using either tor or VPN. The #Surveillance #Capitalism is coming here also.
