How to choose between a VPN node and a fixed IP for a ChatGPT or Gemini subscription, and what each costs.
OpenAI's supported-countries page for its API says that accessing or offering access to its services outside the listed countries and territories may result in an account being blocked or suspended. ChatGPT has its own list in the OpenAI Help Center, so read that one for ChatGPT itself.
Google's help page says the Gemini web app is available in more than 70 languages and over 230 countries and territories, that more will be added gradually, and that the Gemini mobile app may have different availability. So check the web app and the app separately.
Neither page mentions VPNs or says what kind of exit address is accepted, so a node and a fixed IP are both outside what the companies document. This guide assumes you are physically in a supported country and want a steady address that agrees with the account.
| Item | VPN or airport node | Static residential (ISP) IP |
|---|---|---|
| How the exit is chosen | You pick a server in an app; it can change per session or by automatic selection | You get one address and it stays the same for the whole lease |
| Accounts per address | Many users and many accounts on the same exit | We recommend one account per address |
| Price at Proxy302 | Not sold by us | GPT / Grok tier 10 PTC, Gemini tier 8 PTC for 30 days; standard static ISP US$7.99 for 30 days |
Our summary of how the two are commonly used; neither OpenAI nor Google documents either. Prices from the Proxy302 product facts and tier data, 1 PTC = US$1, checked 11 November 2026.
| Item | GPT / Grok tier | Gemini tier |
|---|---|---|
| Fits | ChatGPT Plus and Pro, SuperGrok | Google AI Pro / Ultra (Gemini) |
| Price per IP, 30 days | 10 PTC | 8 PTC |
| First IP in the tier | 5 PTC (half price) | 4 PTC (half price) |
| Locations | US, Japan, London, Paris, Seoul | US, Paris, Japan, London |
Tier data of the Proxy302 AI-subscription ISP, 1 PTC = US$1; cities and stock change, so the order page has the final list. Leases start at 30 days and every IP is dedicated to one customer.
Open the official list for your service (OpenAI Help Center for ChatGPT, the Gemini Apps Help page for Gemini) and confirm your country is on it. For Gemini, check the web app and the mobile app separately.
Decide by how you use the account. Every day on a paid plan: a fixed IP. A few times a month: a node with a fixed server can be enough.
If you go with a fixed IP, take the tier that matches the subscription and one location from the official list. Do not use one IP for two different accounts.
Make the system time zone and browser language agree with the IP's country, and use the address only for that account.
Open the ChatGPT or Gemini page, choose the matching tier and a location. For a cheaper start use the static ISP page, one IP from US$0.50 for one day.
Pay from the wallet and choose HTTP or SOCKS5. The first IP in each tier is half price.
Open My assets, copy HOST, PORT, USERNAME and PASSWORD, and enter them in the browser profile you use for that account.
Check https://ipinfo.io/json through the proxy; the country must match the location you chose.
A standard static ISP IP costs US$0.50 for 1 day and US$7.99 for 30 days, the same in every country. The GPT / Grok tier is 10 PTC and the Gemini tier 8 PTC per IP for 30 days (1 PTC = US$1), and the first IP in each tier is half price. Leases in these tiers start at 30 days and auto-renew is on by default and can be turned off. There is no free trial, and a proxy changes only the network address: the service's own country rules still apply.
Check Your physical country and the exit country against the Gemini Apps Help list, for the web app and the mobile app separately.
Fix If the country is not on the list, a proxy does not change that. If it is, confirm the exit with ipinfo and retry once.
Check Whether the phone sends its traffic through the same exit, and whether the app is available in your country (Google says it may differ from the web app).
Fix Set the proxy on the phone too, or use the web app on the computer that already has the fixed IP.
Check Two ipinfo checks through the same node, a few hours apart.
Fix Pin the node to one server, or move the account to a fixed IP.
That depends on how you use the account. Neither OpenAI nor Google documents nodes. For a paid account you use every day, a fixed IP in a supported country keeps the address steady; for occasional use a node pinned to one server can be enough.
Check that your country is on Google's list for the web app or the mobile app, then use one steady exit in that country. The Gemini tier at Proxy302 is 8 PTC for 30 days.
We recommend one account per address and the tier that matches the service, so two services mean two addresses.
No one can promise that. OpenAI warns that access outside supported countries may lead to a block or suspension, and a proxy does not change a service's terms.
GPT / Grok tier 10 PTC and Gemini tier 8 PTC for 30 days, first IP in each tier at half price; a standard static ISP IP is US$0.50 for 1 day and US$7.99 for 30 days.
Compare your country with the official list, check the exit IP type, align WebRTC, DNS, language and time zone, then keep one steady address.
Whether Gemini works depends on the separate web app and API region lists, the account region, the payments profile country, the account type and age, and the network address a request leaves from. Who decides each one, and an order for checking them.
The Claude, GPT / Grok and Gemini tiers compared: subscriptions, networks, regions, price per IP for 30 days and the first-IP half price.
The four official availability lists compared country by country — China, Hong Kong, Russia and more — plus hourly checks of the OpenAI and Anthropic APIs from 7 countries.
Gemini proxy is the Gemini ISP: a dedicated native IP, 8 PTC for 30 days, in a country on both Google lists — the Gemini app and AI Studio.

Read on 11 November 2026: the page opens by saying that accessing or offering access to OpenAI services outside the listed countries and territories may result in an account being blocked or suspended, then lists the countries alphabetically. It is the API page; ChatGPT has its own supported-countries article in the OpenAI Help Center, which returned an access error to our fetch tool, so we did not read it and state nothing from it. The page does not mention VPNs.
