From TorBack to top

Tor Clients
Tor clients connect to many intermediate nodes before connecting to the intended destination, but there are two types of nodes the client can connect to first:
- relay: a publicly-listed node in the Tor network that forwards traffic on behalf of clients, and that registers itself with the directory authorities
- bridge: a relay whose existence is non-public and which can therefore provide access for blocked clients
This widget displays the approximate daily number of connections to each of these first-node types for a specific country over the last 60 days.
