That chart image is deceitful, not true ! It gather data based on where the node public IP is located / assigned, not the physical location of the node.

I could have very easy a node running at home in whatever country, but using a wireguard VPN tunnel to a VPS that gave me that public IP. That VPS could use also an IP allocated to Amazon or Google or whatever data cenner, but that doesn't mean I run my node on AWS...

I've explained in more details this situation in one of my old guides. https://darth-coin.github.io/general/omg-ln-nodes-on-amazon-en.html

Also the table with distribution of capacity by country is bullshit. Nodes are about individual runners not by countries. COUNTRIES DO NOT RUN NODES, people run.

Ah damn, sorry I deleted this and reposted here #1357852

You are correct, we cannot assume this data is exact. We can't determine how many nodes are using tunneling. I don't think is a significant amount, and big players probably don't even care. Let's not consider private node.

I still believe some truth is still reflected in the data; we are not talking about small numbers anymore. I'm analyzing it in more details here #1357898
