To find that the connection to their server is in China.
Where you would have to have some sort of international subpoena
to get the records of literally billions of ip addresses.
That would be sooooo..... easy.....

Your traffic goes to China and back? Wow.
Most internet service providers will have no hesitation in not only producing the records, but in identifying the user.
I worked at a service provider years ago, and the secret service showed up, wondering who was using a particular IP address from which the then-current President's SSN was posted online.
He left with the requested information in about ten minutes. You don't literally "pour through" the millions of records. You do a quick search. They do own computers at ISP's, you know.
