I used viewdns.info - allowed me to search by registrant name. I looked for Bed Bath Procurement and Liberty Procurement for the list I grabbed (~600 results). Spotted the .sex TLD and filtered down to that and hand-verified whether each result was truly owned by BBBY. I work in IT Audit and InfoSec, so was a piece of cake to find and filter the data. :D.

After doing some investigating, it looks like when I sent the email, it was initially sent via an IP address that falls within Googles IP range, but when I went to viewdns.info to lookup the IP, it was of a Domain that was not Google. Source: over 1 year ago

Please turn off the router for 10 minutes and hopefully you will get a new IP that is not being used.

It's possible your ISP assigned a used IP address to you due to the limited amount of available IPv4 addresses. This can cause Honeygain's Network Overused error if multiple users with the same IP are using it. To solve this, turn off your router for 10 minutes to get a new IP address. Check your IP before and after rebooting using a site like https://ip2location.com/ to confirm you have a new IP. Source: about 1 year ago

Sadly Honeygain is no longer working. I have checked my IP with ip2location.com and it has the usage type (DCH) Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit. Source: about 1 year ago

Only solution is to contact the ISP and request they update the location with ip2location.com (the provided Honeygain uses to try and validate what kind of IP address you have). Source: about 1 year ago
