So was wondering which anoncvs server to pick?
After some text processing of traceroute outputs, we get ...
(server, rtt in ms, path info from geoip)
openbsd$ doas pkg_add GeoIP
openbsd$ ./do.sh

Have fun! Checkout paths to all anoncvs servers.
No South American nor African servers. Or them along the paths. :-(
Interestingly if I choose a Canada server from India, it reaches
Canada via USA. I am assuming crypto source should not transit through
USA.
I observed GeoIP database has some bugs. It generates a few wrong
answers. It mentions a bunch of places as US. But other databases
mention it as Austria.
Path from India to Japan is mentioned as India -> Singapore -> USA
Singapore -> USA -> Japan. That cant be right.
Kindly do not believe the path info too much. An approximation at best.
Thanks very much.
Regards,
Dinesh
