Replying to [comment:1 ahf]:
> Once the broker is able to update per-country stats for the domain-
fronted client connection it should also be able to relay information
about which database it is using to the Snowflake proxies, such that they
can keep stats about incoming proxy connections from clients and where
these are coming from. This would (maybe?) allow us to notice if WebRTC
filtering is happening in a country in that the Broker will see multiple
connections from the given country, but the proxies reports no incoming
clients from the given country.

Are we already collecting per-country usage stats for snowflake bridges
(as we do for other types of bridges)? If so, this might give us what we
need automatically for noticing WebRTC filtering. Especially at the moment
where there is one broker and one bridge, if clients are able to connect
to snowflake proxies, there shouldn't be any '''censorship''' related
reason that they cannot connect to bridges.
I think per-country usage stats at the broker side are still useful of
course, it gives us extra information if clients are able to connect to
the broker but not able to connect to the snowflake bridge eventually.
On a different note, it might also be useful to us to collect per-country
stats on where the proxies are being run from.
