Error: Unusable network

🚫
 
“Unusable network” means your IP address type isn't supported.
 
Before sharing starts, the app checks your IP address against databases such as IP2Location. Some IP types can't be used with Honeygain.
 

⬢  IP types Honeygain can't use

If your IP address belongs to one of these types, you'll see this error:

 

Data Center, Organization, Reserved, Military and Government.

 

Honeygain also doesn't support IPv6. On an IPv6-only connection the app won't work.

 

⬢  How to fix it

Find out your IP type first, then follow the matching step:

 
1
Check your IP usage type
 
Go to ip2location.com and look at the Usage Type field.
 

IP2Location result showing the IP usage type
 
2
Data Center or Reserved?
 
Ask your internet provider for a different IP address.
 

IP2Location usage type details
 
3
Have a changing (dynamic) IP?
 
Restart your router. Your provider may give you a new IP address.
 
 

⬢  Your IP type is supported, but the error stays?

The app may still be syncing with the IP databases. This can take up to 7 days, so keep the app running and check again later.
