I asked their (first-level) support a few months ago, and they said they're considering providing data sets without A1 codes some time this year. Not holding my breath. But I think, for the moment, we have reasonable fixes for both country and city databases: https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/blob/HEAD:/src/config/deanonymind.py https://gitweb.torproject.org/onionoo.git/blob/HEAD:/geoip/deanonymind.py If I could spend more time on this topic, I wouldn't want to visit MaxMind headquarters, but I'd want to further extend Jake's blockfinder and come up with our own free GeoIP database: https://github.com/ioerror/blockfinder Best, Karsten _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
