Low Forest node count in ProbeLab

[LesnyRumcajs]

Summary

ProbeLab shows there are only two Forest nodes on mainnet https://probelab.io/filecoin/topology/ - one running in France, another in India. This seems off as I'm personally aware of at least

• 2 bootstrap nodes hosted by CS Infra + the one producing snapshots,
• 1 RPC node by ChainLove
• 1 RPC node by Arkadiy
• my own node
• a mainnet node running in sync check
• I think Ankr hosts at least one as well

At the same time, 23% are reported as unknown/other.

This should be investigated, because it heavily undersells Forest adoption.

Completion Criteria

• Get in touch with ProbeLab to understand their methodology and where the gap is coming from
• Fix if possible
