Find a public Tor relay by its canonical 40-character fingerprint, search by nickname prefix, or browse the cached directory with bounded filters. Results distinguish the current directory Exit flag from a recently observed exit address and explain status, published endpoints, country and network, bandwidth, Tor version, and directory timestamps.
This is a directory explorer, not a network scanner. It never connects to a relay or tests its ports. IP addresses, URLs, hosts, ports, wildcards, arbitrary substrings, and bulk input are not accepted.

deyw.de checks Onionoo about every 15 minutes with a conditional request. The local SQLite index is replaced only when the source dataset changes.

Enter at least two nickname characters, paste an exact fingerprint, or browse with filters. Nothing is sent until you press Explore.

Query on deyw.de
One explicit request to deyw.de after you press Explore.
Submitted: the entered query and selected filters. Provider traffic: none per search; the server reads a periodically refreshed local cache.
Query + filters→deyw.de API→Cached Tor directory
Search data is sent in a POST body, not placed in the URL or stored in browser storage. The lookup route is excluded from HTTP access logs. The page performs no automatic refresh, autocomplete request, or background lookup.
Purpose, provenance, and limits
Interpret public directory data carefully
Why deyw.de keeps a local relay index
Privacy is the primary reason; fast searches, resilience, and lower upstream traffic are useful side effects.
Your browser never sends the searched fingerprint or nickname to the Tor Project.
Onionoo sees only periodic full-dataset requests from deyw.de, not individual visitor searches.
One cached snapshot serves all visitors instead of generating a provider request for every lookup.
SQLite provides fast filtering, sorting, and nickname-prefix searches.
The last valid snapshot remains searchable during a temporary Onionoo outage.
Search POST requests are excluded from the HTTP access log.
Fingerprint is canonical
A relay fingerprint uniquely identifies its long-term identity key in this dataset. Nicknames are operator-chosen and not unique. Prefix results rank an exact nickname first but may contain several relays.
Exit flag and exit observation differ
The Exit role filter uses the current directory-authority Exit flag. Recent exit evidence means Onionoo also published an address observed carrying exit traffic in its recent source window. Either signal can exist without the other.
Running is a snapshot
Running and other flags describe the source directory snapshot, not a live probe. Check the published and cached timestamps shown with every result, especially when data is marked stale.
Public endpoints
OR addresses, country, ASN, bandwidth, platform, flags, and policies are public Tor directory metadata. Country and network labels are source estimates, not a precise physical or residential location.
Bounded directory search
Nickname search is anchored at the beginning and requires at least two characters. URLs, IP addresses, ports, arbitrary substrings, wildcards, and bulk input are rejected. At most 25 matches are displayed.
Usage limits
Up to 12 searches per minute per IP address are allowed, with a maximum of 5 immediate requests. Each search returns at most 25 matches. The service may temporarily return a rate-limit response when the shared local index is busy.
Official source
The cache is built from the Tor Project Onionoo protocol. Refreshes use conditional requests and preserve the last valid index if the provider is temporarily unavailable.
