Proxy for Gemini: setup and country check
How to set up a proxy for the Gemini web app, Google AI Studio and the Gemini API, and how to diagnose common errors. A proxy does not change Google's terms.
Gemini Region Restrictions: Which Signals Decide Availability and What to Check, in Order
"Gemini is not available" can mean several things: the web app and the API each have their own list of supported regions, the account is associated with a region, the payments profile has its own country, and Workspace accounts have edition and age requirements. Working out which layer is blocking you helps far more than switching networks.
First work out which layer is limiting you
Gemini is not one switch. Google publishes supported regions per entry point: one list for the web app (gemini.google.com and the mobile app), another for Google AI Studio and the Gemini API. The web app page says "more than 70 languages and over 230 countries and territories" and that Google will gradually expand it; the list marks Mainland China as Workspace only. The API and AI Studio list is different: Hong Kong, Macao and China are not on it, Taiwan is.
So the same person can have the web app open while the API refuses, or the other way round. The lists also change, so use Google's official page on the day you check rather than a country list from a second-hand article.
Beyond region there is the account layer: Gemini in Workspace (AI Expanded Access) is an add-on for Business Standard, Business Plus, Enterprise Standard and Enterprise Plus, and Google says not to assign it to users under 18. That limit has nothing to do with which country you are in.
What decides each limit and where to check it
| Item | What Google publishes | Where to check |
|---|---|---|
| Web app supported list | Published by country and territory, expanded gradually; the mobile app may differ | Gemini Help: "Where you can use the Gemini web app" |
| API / AI Studio supported list | A separate list; for Colab it depends on where the instance runs, not on the user | Google AI Studio docs: "Available regions" |
| Account region | A new account follows where it was created; after a year, where you usually access Google, typically where you spent most time in the last year | Google Privacy & Terms FAQ |
| Payments profile country | One country per profile, cannot be changed on an existing profile, a different country needs a new profile | Google Payments Center, payments profile settings |
| Account type and age | Workspace AI Expanded Access covers four editions and is not for users under 18 | Workspace admin documentation |
| Network address of the request | Google does not list which network signals each product reads | An IP lookup showing the current exit country |
The first five rows are what Google's own pages state; the last row is the only item a proxy changes. Checked 2026-11-05.
Account region and payments profile: the two things a proxy cannot change
Google is specific about the account region: a new account is associated with the region where you created it; for an account at least a year old, Google uses the region from which you usually access its services, typically where you spent the most time in the last year. Frequent travel does not generally affect it, and after a move the region can take roughly a year to change. In other words, a different network address does not move the account's region.
The payments profile is a separate thing. Google Payments Center says a profile can be associated with only one country, the country of an existing profile cannot be changed, and using another country means creating a new profile while existing subscriptions stay with the old one. When a subscription is stuck on "wrong payments country", this is the first place to look.
Both are properties of the account, independent of the network you use right now. If the account region or the payments profile is itself outside the supported range, changing the exit IP does not fix it.
A check order, cheapest first
Step 1: identify the entry point
Work out whether the error comes from the web app, the mobile app, or an API / AI Studio call. Each is checked against a different official list.
Step 2: compare with that official list
Open the official page for that entry point and see whether your country or territory is on it. If not, there is no point checking the network yet.
Step 3: the account region
Recall where the account was created and where you mainly used it over the past year. A new account follows its creation location, an older one follows where you usually use it.
Step 4: the payments profile country
Open the payments profile in Google Payments Center and read the country field. For a subscription it has to fit the region of the service you are buying.
Step 5: account type and age
For a Workspace account, ask the admin whether AI Expanded Access is assigned and whether the user is 18 or older.
Step 6: where the code actually runs
For an API call, the machine that sends the request is the one whose exit address counts; in Colab it is where the Colab instance runs, not where you sit.
Step 7: finally, the exit IP
Open ipinfo.io/json through the network you actually use (including the proxy) and compare the country field with the list from step 2.
Measured: where Proxy302 exits land
Below is one measurement from the Proxy302 probe for Gemini: at the same moment, one rotating residential exit in each of seven countries, with the exit's network and response time. It shows which countries an exit address can fall in; it does not mean any account is guaranteed to work with Gemini.
Measured exits: Gemini from seven countries
| Item | Network (ISP) | ASN | Response, ms |
|---|---|---|---|
| United States | AT&T Enterprises, LLC | AS7018 | 315 |
| United Kingdom | Plusnet | AS6871 | 387 |
| Germany | Vodafone GmbH | AS3209 | 312 |
| Japan | BTV CO.,LTD. | AS18135 | 438 |
| Singapore | Starhub Ltd | AS55430 | 299 |
| Brazil | TELEFÔNICA BRASIL S.A | AS26599 | 277 |
| Indonesia | PT. Telekomunikasi Selular | AS23693 | 361 |
Hourly check of the Proxy302 probe, 3 November 2026, 18:18 UTC: one request to Gemini per country through a rotating residential exit, using the public Proxy302 entry. Only the first three octets of an IP are public. One sample per country, not an average; later checks will differ.
What a proxy changes and what it does not
A proxy changes one thing: the network address of the request that the other service sees. It does not change the account's region, the payments profile country, Workspace licences and age rules, or Google's terms and supported-region lists. An account can still be restricted after the exit changes; how Google treats an account is up to Google.
The sensible order is therefore to confirm with the steps above that the account, the payments profile and the entry point are within the supported range, and only then think about the network. If your account and payments profile are already in a supported region and you only want the network location to match where the account belongs, an address fixed for the lease is easier to keep consistent, and easier to debug, than one that changes every time.
How to do it with Proxy302
If your Gemini account is already in a supported region and you want a fixed exit for it, the ISP for AI subscriptions has a Gemini tier: one static ISP IP for one subscription account, 30 days per order, the address fixed for the lease, in the United States, United Kingdom, France, Spain, Italy, Japan, South Korea or Singapore. It supplies a network address only; it does not change the account region, the payments profile or Google's terms, and it does not mean the account will not be restricted.
To look at what exits in different countries look like, or for ordinary browsing outside the API, rotating residential or a plain static ISP IP can be bought as needed.
How to do it with Proxy302: steps
Step 1
Open the page for your product, choose the country, the traffic or the term and quantity, and for per-IP products the protocol, HTTP or SOCKS5. The protocol is fixed for each IP when you buy it.
Step 2
Generate the proxy, then open My assets (the console page that holds everything you bought) and copy HOST, PORT, USERNAME and PASSWORD. The Tools & checks page shows a ready example with your own endpoint.
Step 3
Enter the details in the agent's browser, HTTP client or environment variables.
Step 4
Check the exit with https://ipinfo.io/json through the proxy. The country field should match the country you chose.
Step 5
From mainland China, open the Helper from the Tools & checks page, click 「一键加速」 (One-click boost) and keep it open while you use the proxy.
Prices and limits
The Gemini tier of the ISP for AI subscriptions is 8 PTC per 30 days, with 50% off the first order; 1 PTC is worth US$1. Rotating residential starts at US$1.50 per GB (Budget line) and US$5 per GB (Premium line), lower in larger packages; purchased traffic has no expiry. A static ISP IP costs US$0.50 for one day and US$7.99 for 30 days, the same in every country; a datacenter IP costs US$0.25 and US$3.99. Availability changes daily and is shown on the order page. The smallest purchase is 1 GB or one IP for one day. An IP does not lift a restriction, undo a ban or raise a limit.

FAQ
The web app opens but the API says my region is not supported. Why?
They are two separate supported-region lists. The web app and the Gemini API / AI Studio publish their own countries and territories, and the two do not match: Hong Kong, for example, is not on the API list. Check the list for the entry point you are actually using.
I switched VPN or proxy and still get "not available". Why?
The exit network address is only one item. The account region, the payments profile country, Workspace licences and age do not change when the network does. Go through the check order and find the layer that is really blocking you.
How does Google decide which region my account belongs to?
Google says a new account follows where it was created; an account at least a year old follows the region from which you usually access Google services, typically where you spent the most time in the last year. Frequent travel does not generally affect it, and after a move it can take roughly a year to update.
Can I change the country on my payments profile?
Not directly. Google Payments Center says the country of an existing payments profile cannot be changed; a different country needs a new profile, and existing subscriptions stay with the old one.
Will buying a proxy solve every region limit?
No. A proxy changes only the network address a request leaves from. It does not change the account region, the payments profile country, the account type and age, or the terms of service. How an account is treated is up to Google.
