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-has-the-methodology-for-counting-tor-users-changed)).
Users who have manually configured to use a mirror (whether clearnet or onion mirrors) 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.
