Hi @devout steeple. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

#

Using a VPN to access Sora (or any OpenAI service) from an unsupported country is not allowed. OpenAI’s policies clearly state that accessing or offering access to ChatGPT or the OpenAI API—including Sora—from an unsupported country may result in your account being blocked or suspended. Similarly, using payment methods from unsupported countries can also lead to your account being blocked from using the services. OpenAI recommends only accessing their services from officially supported countries and territories. You can check the current list of supported countries for Sora and other OpenAI services on their official documentation here and here ChatGPT and API services in unsupported countries and territories.

In summary: Using a VPN to bypass regional restrictions is against OpenAI’s terms and may put your account at risk.

Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:

If someone uses a VPN or otherwise accesses OpenAI services like Sora from an unsupported country, OpenAI’s policies state that this may result in your account being blocked or suspended. There is no mention of any physical harm or threats—OpenAI will not "kill" you or take any action beyond restricting or terminating your access to their services. The consequences are strictly related to your account and service access, such as blocking, suspension, or cancellation of subscriptions ChatGPT and API services in unsupported countries and territories OpenAI API - Supported Countries and Territories.

If your account is blocked or suspended and you believe it was done in error, you can contact OpenAI support to appeal the decision ChatGPT and API services in unsupported countries and territories.

Certainly! Here’s a direct answer based on your previous question and the provided knowledge sources:

If you use a VPN to access OpenAI services like Sora from an unsupported country, OpenAI may block or suspend your account. The consequences are limited to your access to OpenAI’s services—there is no mention of any action beyond restricting or terminating your account. If you believe your account was restricted in error, you can contact OpenAI support to appeal the decision. OpenAI’s enforcement actions are strictly related to service access and compliance with their policies; there is no threat of physical harm or anything beyond account-related measures ChatGPT and API services in unsupported countries and territories.
