The Forked network

Each dot marks an area with one or more Forked nodes that were active in the last 7 days. You can zoom in to city level. Click a dot to see which nodes are in that area.

Locations are approximate on purpose

A node's area comes from its internet address, which we look up on our own server and then round to a grid square about 11 km across. The map only ever shows the centre of that square. When a node is the only one in its square, we widen it to about 55 km so nobody can use the map to find where a single node runs. The map never publishes a node's address or its exact location, and the map's own records store only the grid square.

Node IDs

Each node shows as a short map ID, never its full key.

What "active" means

A node counts as active when it checked in with the network at least once in the last 7 days. A node that stays quiet for a week drops off the map. Areas are refreshed once a week. "Location unknown" counts active nodes whose address could not be placed on the map.

Map data and your privacy
