Pick the Right IP to Keep Claude Safe

Recently, a number of Claude AI users reported that their accounts were suddenly banned. Not only were they unable to log in, but they also received messages such as “account abnormal” and “violation of terms of use.” Many people initially thought it was due to content violations or sensitive operations, but the deeper reason may be that the IP address and device fingerprint were exposed, triggering the system’s risk control mechanism.

1. Why was Claude banned?

The Claude account bans are not isolated incidents, but rather part of a systemic crackdown. Many users on Reddit and X reported that their accounts were banned shortly after using multiple accounts, automated scripts, or switching IPs via proxies/VPNs. The reasons given by the platform are usually vague, with “abnormal behavior detected” being a frequent phrase.

Based on the observed phenomena, it can be inferred that Claude’s system may have been equipped with full-chain identification capabilities such as IP address, behavioral trajectory, and device fingerprint. Once “batch operations” or “accounts from the same source” are detected, the accounts will be banned.

2. How does the platform identify that “you are not a regular user”?

Account bans are not targeted at individuals by the platform, but rather the result of the system automatically identifying abnormal behavior. You may have been mistakenly banned due to the following characteristics:

• Duplicate IP: Multiple accounts logging in using the same IP, or frequently changing IPs, are considered to pose a “IP drift” risk.
• Device fingerprint consistency: The same system, browser configuration, screen size, language settings, and operation trajectory will be identified by the platform as “batch control”.
• Abnormal usage patterns: Frequent account switching, numerous conversations, and accessing the site day and night within a short period of time will be identified as bot activity.
• Using a public VPN: The platform has already blacklisted most commercial VPN nodes, and using them will trigger a red light.

In short: if you don’t look like a “normal user,” the platform naturally won’t let you continue using it.

3. Multi-account operation can actually be quite natural.

Many operations staff create multiple accounts when using tools like Claude, ChatGPT, and Bard to conduct A/B testing, distribute tasks in multiple languages, and compare data. However, the problem isn’t “too many accounts,” but rather that “all accounts seem to be run by one person.”

If we could achieve this for every account:

• Use independent export IP
• Geographically dispersed (in different countries or cities)
• The connection behavior is reasonable (based on daily usage rhythm).
• Device fingerprint differentiation (system, resolution, language, etc.)

Therefore, even with multiple accounts, it won’t trigger the platform’s risk control measures. At this point, high-quality proxy services become crucial .

kookeey residential proxy we use provides real home network IPs from 41 countries around the world, which has the natural advantage of “looking like ordinary home users”. Not only can it be used for a long time, but it also supports dynamic rotation, making it very suitable for AI tool operation, account testing, and cross-regional operation.

Compared to shared proxies on the market, kookeey excels in IP scarcity, stability, and anonymity, truly making “each of your accounts feel like a real person.”

4. What can I do after my account is banned?

Account bans are usually irreversible, especially for AI platforms that, to protect data security, are permanently blocked once banned. However, we can start now to avoid the next account ban:

• Clean and independent IP: Use dedicated proxies to avoid sharing and being held liable for the same IP address.
• Allocate accounts appropriately: Each account should be linked to a different network environment.
• Avoid frequent switching: the proxy should be stable to avoid “drifting” operations.
• Simulate normal user behavior: Avoid script-based continuous questioning and 24/7 operation.

In these solutions, stable, highly anonymous, and targeted proxy services are the infrastructure. If you’re still using a free VPN or a random proxy, getting your account banned is almost a matter of time.

Summary: To avoid account bans, start with your IP address.

Whether you’re a Claude user, or doing social media operations, SEO, multiple accounts, or testing activities, if you don’t want to be identified, you need to work on your “online identity . “

kookeey offers static residential proxies, dynamic residential proxies, and static data center proxies, adapting to various scenarios such as mobile devices, desktops, and automated tasks, allowing you to access the internet with a more natural-looking identity without triggering risk control or being mistakenly banned.

New users can also receive an exclusive trial package to experience a safe and stable network spoofing.

Operating multiple accounts is nothing new; the real challenge lies in simulating the behavioral paths of “multiple independent natural users.” Hiding the real IP address, dispersing online identities, and maintaining a consistent operational rhythm are the core principles for avoiding account bans.
