Claude Account Bans, Suspensions and Appeals

A tested local memory tool, installed and syncing beforehand, restores project context to a new Claude account after a ban, but only if set up before the ban.

The author claims a self-built VLESS+Reality proxy is rarely blocked for personal use, so Claude can be used freely, and even beginners can set it up with AI in one click.

A team says language and usage hours barely affect Claude bans, and five accounts opened for friends in China via their existing channel setup remain stable, noting overseas-environment bans and KYC.

Claude's payment page now lists mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan and accepts UnionPay cards, but Anthropic still restricts service to supported regions; banned accounts can appeal, with some reporting success.

A shared tip for stable Claude use: subscribe through Apple or Google Pay, never expose your real IP, and restart in a clean virtual machine if previously banned.

A user says they were banned immediately after paying for Claude Pro with no refund, and is now considering a cheaper shared subscription instead.

A user says they've used Claude long-term, even to direct a grokbot troubleshooting VPN nodes, without being banned, and thinks bans purely for being a Chinese user are less likely.

A user's Claude account was banned after letting their husband ask questions, citing the one-user-one-account policy; they re-registered but moved toward open-source models.

After their Claude Max 20x was banned, the author opened three Pro accounts on the same machine and network, all KYC'd with a Chinese passport, to see how long they last.

The author advises keeping nodes fixed and routing rules in fixed mode rather than auto-select, plus backing up chats every 7 days, saving custom instructions and Projects rules separately, and testing a new account before migrating history.

The author dismisses anti-ban tips as superstition and argues the real prep is a fallback after a ban: subscribe via Apple in-app purchase and turn off auto-renewal.

The user says losing four Claude accounts taught them bans stem from inconsistent environments—mismatched registration, usage and payment IPs get flagged eventually—so fix the environment before opening a new account.
