Claude banned most users from Russia - the neuron asks for a passport for verification, access is blocked with documents from the Russian Federation. Users complain that since the morning of October 29, the search engine has stopped giving answers until you pass the test. Without it, Claude stops working, even if you have a paid subscription - you won't be able to get a refund for it. According to Anthropic, verification is requested randomly. However, the company does not list VPN use as a separate reason for requesting documents. Now a foreign IP address is not enough to maintain access to Cloud. Neuronka was not officially available in Russia before. But users connected via VPN or launched its tools on rented VPS servers in supported countries. As I have written more than once, other people's neurons will be blocked either by the West or the RKN. Only locals will remain + those included in the conditional "whitelists" (mainly Chinese). This is the inevitable future. Those who do not understand this will find themselves in such situations from time to time.
