Proxy for AI Tools: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Cursor & More

A fixed IP for each person’s AI accounts and editors — and the country rules a proxy doesn’t change.

Why AI tools need the right proxy

AI vendors decide availability by country. OpenAI’s supported list leaves out mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Russia, Belarus and Iran, and warns that access from outside it may get an account blocked or suspended. Anthropic’s list leaves out mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Russia and covers use while you are physically located in an unsupported region. Google’s list for AI Studio and the Gemini API is shorter than the Gemini app’s, GitHub may not sell or export Copilot to Russia or Belarus, and ElevenLabs blocks connections from sanctioned countries. A proxy changes none of these rules — check the list before you rely on one.

Where the network is the obstacle, the fix is a stable route. From mainland China, GreatFire’s tests show chatgpt.com blocked since May 2024, gemini.google.com, www.perplexity.ai and suno.com blocked, and claude.ai unreliable, while runway.com and elevenlabs.io currently read accessible. Editors also connect on their own: GitHub Copilot uses its editor proxy setting or variables such as HTTPS_PROXY, Claude Code reads the standard proxy variables, and Cursor has its own network settings — so a proxy set only in the browser doesn’t cover them.

What a static ISP IP adds is consistency: one fixed address per person instead of a VPN exit that many people share and that changes between sessions. It also gives teams an address to allowlist — Claude Enterprise can restrict access to allowlisted IP addresses, and an ElevenLabs API key can be locked to IPs, with requests from any other IP rejected with a 403. In our hourly checks at 03:05 UTC on 18 October 2026, the OpenAI and Anthropic APIs gave their normal sign-in-required answer, not a country block, through Proxy302 residential exits in the US, UK, Germany, Japan, Singapore, Brazil and Indonesia.

Scripts and servers that call the OpenAI APIDatacenter proxy, set in the SDKRequests come from your code, not a browser sign-in, so a fixed server address in a supported country does the job

All 10 tool pages below start from static ISP in the console, with the United States suggested; the OpenAI API page starts from datacenter. Every setting stays editable before you pay.

AI proxy setups for 10 tools

Each page covers the tool’s country rules, the recommended setup and where the proxy goes — browser, editor, terminal or SDK. “View options and pricing” on a card opens the console with that tool’s starting setup.

ChatGPT proxy

ChatGPT proxy is the GPT / Grok ISP: a dedicated native IP, 10 PTC for 30 days, one IP per person, HTTP or SOCKS5 — and what a proxy cannot change.

View options and pricing

Claude proxy

Claude proxy is the Claude ISP: a dedicated native IP in the US, Frankfurt, Japan or London, 15 PTC for 30 days, HTTP for Claude Code — and Anthropic's region rules.

View options and pricing

Cursor proxy

Cursor proxy settings on a fixed static ISP IP: http.proxy, HTTP/1.1 compatibility mode and a US exit — the region Cursor uses to decide which models you see.

View options and pricing

Runway proxy

Runway proxy on a fixed static ISP IP: one fixed address for your Runway account and API jobs, a read-only API test, and what Runway's terms allow.

View options and pricing

Suno proxy

Suno proxy on a static ISP IP: one fixed address for your own account, and what Suno's terms say about VPNs, proxies and extra free accounts.

OpenAI API from code

For scripts and servers rather than a browser: the OpenAI API’s country rule, a datacenter IP set in the Python or Node SDK, and commands that test the route first.

Set up an AI tool proxy in three steps

  1. Check the vendor’s country list

    Pick a country on your tool’s supported list that you’ll stay in. Our guide compares the ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini lists country by country.

  2. Open your tool’s page

    Each page starts from the console’s setup for that tool and shows where the proxy goes: the browser, the editor’s proxy setting, a terminal variable or the SDK.

  3. Check the exit before you sign in

    Open an IP check page in the same browser or tool and confirm the country, then sign in.

    Expected result Every sign-in comes from the same country and the same IP.

AI tool proxy FAQ

Does a proxy make ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini available where they aren’t offered?

No. A proxy changes your network exit, not the vendor’s terms. OpenAI warns that access from outside its supported countries may get an account blocked or suspended, and Anthropic’s policy covers use while you are physically in an unsupported region. Check the list first.

Why a static IP instead of a VPN for AI tools?

A static ISP IP stays the same for your term, so every sign-in comes from one place. VPN exits are usually shared with other users and can change between sessions.

Do I need one IP per person?

Plan one per person who signs in, so nobody’s activity lands on someone else’s address. Runway’s terms, for example, allow one account per platform and forbid sharing your account, password or API keys.

Will my editor use the proxy I set in the browser?

No. GitHub Copilot, Claude Code and Cursor have their own proxy settings or read environment variables such as HTTPS_PROXY. The tool pages show exactly where.

Which AI tools may not need a proxy at all?

GreatFire currently reads runway.com and elevenlabs.io as accessible from mainland China, so their web apps may open directly there. A fixed IP is still useful when one account should always sign in from one address, or when an API key is locked to an IP.

The OpenAI API page opens datacenter proxies with the AI setup. Presets are editable starting points, not access guarantees.

    Read the public results at proxy302.com/live/connectivity/chatgpt.json and claude.json at 03:29 UTC on 18 October 2026 (round generated 03:05 UTC): the api.openai.com and api.anthropic.com probes counted as reachable — they answered 401, sign-in required, rather than a country block — from the US, GB, DE, JP, SG, BR and ID residential exits.

    Only successful checks are published; a reachable API is not permission to use it from any country.
