EDIT: Of fucking course it's a Nodeseek user, why did I even bother.
Somebody on this has said that Claude does not care about DC IPs
Oh and btw, a "reverse whitelist" is actually a common thing, it's called a blacklist.
I also exclusively use data center IPs for Claude Code and have had no issues so far. They have my legit details and credit card, but I wouldn't let any AI harness run on a computer that has any of my personal data or logins on it. An agent has already used my private Claude login email in a User Agent without permission, so there's no way I'd run it on a personal device and risk it getting even more creative.
If they ever ban me for using DC IPs I'll appeal and let you all know how it goes, but I've been running it for months on a VPS, and I'm not in a country known for distilling their models, so I'm not particularly worried about it.
That's wild
MJJ prefers DC IP + using the name John burger with the address macdonald street 11, los angels, america
Just get a residential IP VPN?
LOL
What in the Kentucky fried chicken fuck did I just read

@baoweise what exactly are you doing with this setup?
A $100M market but it consists purely of mjj's trying to bypass the gfw...
Is it just me, or is it pretty obvious why providers does not jump on this "opportunity"?
There is not enough money in the world to convince me to take on that customerbase.
I just investigated your slop story in case I need to worry about using DC IPs for my Claude Code sessions, but now I sincerely doubt your accounts got shutdown because of the data center IP.
It's far more likely that the AI identified a user in a restricted region using a highly suspicious setup to access their services in contravention of their ToS, which may have been exposed by your routing mistake, but you certainly aren't using accounts with your own details for this setup so don't act surprised when OpenAI also shuts you down too: https://www.anthropic.com/news/updating-restrictions-of-sales-to-unsupported-regions
If they see enough requests from a specific ip address across multiple accounts they will know what is going on.
Just saying... they dont really block API token usage as much as the normal fixed cost account.
If you really have the budget for it for actual projects, use the API variant and you should be all good.
I got a feeling you are abusing the subscription but hey you probably wont admit it.
that is the point, they spend $200 on a max plan, and push to maybe $20000 value token, that's the reason they got blocked, and seems many Chinese don't understand the promotion regarding the word "unlimited" , it is not real "unlimited", just like hetzner offer 1 Gbps unlimited bandwidth, but if you really push up to 330 TB a month, they will find any excuse to kick you out
I get the impression that neither of you has ever purchased a Claude subscription.
Claude offers a terminal-based development tool that can be accessed from within a VPS—effectively bypassing restrictions in China. However, paying for a subscription requires the use of a remote device, such as a Windows or macOS machine.
LOL you're rich, so why not just use API; your problems concerning IP will be gone; unless you're breaching ToS in other ways. Your attempts at saving money "even though you're rich" are actually causing you to lose money as you candidly revealed in your OP.
@baoweise. How good is your English?
As good as his Claude.
The subtle art of speaking Claude?
I use Codex CLI mostly via a VPS, and that VPS is not even on the same continent as I am.
