From August 16–31, the ?? country broke into the top 5 countries by user count, on the snowflake-01 bridge only. (See third attachment.) Because the country code comes from the proxy, which reports the remote IP address of the client, a country code of ?? means that either the proxy did not report an IP address (no client_ip WebSocket URL parameter), or the IP address was not found in a geolocation lookup.

Another possibility is that there's some kind of custom client that's connecting to the bridge directly over its WebSocket interface (not using a snowflake proxy), and it's not sending client_ip.
