Does anyone know a good site which shows #nostr relays by geo location and allows you to filter on location/uptime etc ? #asknostr
I'm trying to make sure I post notes to a good selection of relays to minimize the chances of censorship long term.

• ✅ Shows relay uptime, latency, software type, and whether it’s public or private.
• 🌐 Has some geographic info, but not a full map.
• 🔍 You can sort by uptime or other metrics.
• 🟢 Very reliable source.
• 📊 Shows detailed relay info: uptime %, software, fee structure, access control, etc.
• 🚩 Does not have explicit geo filters, but often shows country/IP block.
• 🧠 Useful for assessing reliability and policy.
• 🔍 Checks relays in real-time.
• Shows latency, errors, pubkey acceptance, etc.
• Can help filter good-performing relays — though no direct geo filter.

🗺️ If you’re looking specifically for geo-location of relays:
Unfortunately, no public tool yet offers full relay mapping by geographic location with filtering. But here’s a workaround:
🔧 Manual Option:
Use https://nostr.watch, then:
1. Take relay domain/IP.
2. Use tools like IPinfo.io or iplocation.net to check physical server location.
3. Use the result to filter for geographic diversity yourself.
How relays work? Never cared about geo location… AMA! 😂
