How often is this graph updated?
|
|||
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Daily.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Why is the bar for the current month so low?
|
|||
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Since the graph is updated daily, the bar for the current month will be
|
|||
|
|
very low at the start of the month and rise gradually until the end of
|
|||
|
|
the month.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
How is the userbase estimated?
|
|||
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
We simply count the number of unique IPv4 addresses that connect to the
|
|||
|
|
Qubes update servers each month (except for Tor connections; see
|
|||
|
|
`below <#how-are-tor-users-counted>`__). (Note: Users who have manually
|
|||
|
|
configured their systems to bypass the metalink and connect directly to
|
|||
|
|
a mirror are not counted.)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
How are Tor users counted?
|
|||
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
We estimate the number of Tor users as a proportion of the total number
|
|||
|
|
of *requests* from Tor exit nodes on the assumption that the proportion
|
|||
|
|
of users to requests is roughly the same for both clearnet and Tor
|
|||
|
|
users. To be precise, the formula is:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
tor_users = tor_requests * (plain_users / plain_requests)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Where:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- ``tor_users`` is the estimated number of Qubes users who download
|
|||
|
|
updates via Tor each month.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- ``tor_requests`` is the total number of requests the Qubes update
|
|||
|
|
servers receive from Tor exit nodes each month.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- ``plain_users`` is the number of unique clearnet IPv4 addresses that
|
|||
|
|
connect to the Qubes update servers each month.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- ``plain_requests`` is the total number of requests the Qubes update
|
|||
|
|
servers receive from clearnet IPv4 addresses each month.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
We cross-reference the list of connecting IP addresses with `TorDNSEL’s exit lists <https://metrics.torproject.org/collector.html#type-tordnsel>`__
|
|||
|
|
in order to distinguish Tor and clearnet IPs and requests. For this
|
|||
|
|
purpose, we count an IP address as belonging to a Tor exit node if there
|
|||
|
|
was a Tor exit node active for that address within the 24-hour periods
|
|||
|
|
before or after it connected to the Qubes update servers.

What kinds of data do you collect about Qubes users?

Where can I find the raw data and source code?

|||
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
