  • A player named femboy.cat has claimed 20 million IPs (9% of all IPv4 hosts) on the IPv4 Games service.
  • The service requires a TCP three-way handshake to claim an IP, and the server ignores HTTP headers like x-forwarded-for.
  • Possible methods for claiming IPs include embedding tracking pixels in ads, using residential proxies, or compromising high-traffic websites.
  • Suggestions include using Google Ads with free credits to generate HTTP GET requests from various IPs.
  • Residential proxies and popular websites embedding the claim URL are also speculated methods.
  • The timeline for claiming 20 million IPs is unclear, but ad impressions or compromised sites could explain the volume.
