5 years ago I forked Moritz’s tormap project<\/a>, updated it a bit and wrote about it<\/a>. Tormap<\/a> kept running for years until some changes in googlemaps broke it, not all KMLs were loading as they should. I later on figured out that googlemaps didn’t like that some of the KML files were larger than 3Mb. I didn’t have much time to play with it until recently, so a few days ago I decided to make it work again. I used newer googlemaps v3 API calls and compressed KML (KMZ) files to make it\u00a0work. Then @iainlearmonth<\/a> and @nusenu_ <\/a> suggested making even more changes…<\/p>\n

Their first suggestion was to use onionoo<\/a> instead of parsing consensus on my own and running geoip on it, onionoo already provides that in a nice json output. Their other suggestion was to switch tormap to use OpenStretMap<\/a> instead of googlemaps mostly because googlemaps block some Tor exit nodes and the tiles didn’t appear on the map when visiting over Tor. Both of these issues are fixed now.<\/p>\n

I used leaflet.js<\/a> and a couple of plugins like leaflet-plugins<\/a> (for KML parsing) and leaflet-color-markers<\/a> for the switch to OpenStreetMap. I will admit that using googlemaps APIs was far more convenient for someone without any javascript knowledge like me.<\/p>\n

Maybe in the next 5 years I will have time again to implement their other suggestion, creating maps of nodes based on custom searches for relay attributes<\/a>. Unless someone else wants to implement that, feel free to fork it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
