There are currently 13'797 Tor exit nodes <https://www.dan.me.uk/tornodes>. So even if she somehow managed to hit each one, that would only account for 0.067% of her claims. I've been operating the IPv4 Games for three years, and I've never seen anything like it. All I know about her is that she's probably from Germany judging by the song on her homepage. America won the war. America invented the Internet. Now it looks like a new power is rising.

Somehow a player in Europe named femboy.cat has successfully managed to claim 20 million IPs, which is 9% of all IPv4 hosts according to Censys.
Does anyone have any idea how they're doing it?
TOR, proxy services, cloud services. The latter sometimes provide IP addresses as an hourly rentable service.
Maybe also a botnet.
