Hi @unreal narwhal. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
Sora 2 (the latest version of OpenAI’s video generation model and app) is currently available only in the US and Canada for the Sora app and Sora 2 on web. Germany is not included in the initial rollout. The United Kingdom, EU, and Australia are also not included at launch. OpenAI has stated that availability will expand over time, but there is no specific date announced for when Sora 2 will be available in Germany. You can download the app to be notified when your account becomes eligible as access expands in the future Getting started with the Sora app Sora App and Sora 2- Supported Countries.

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
Using a VPN to access Sora 2 from a country where it is not officially available is not supported by OpenAI. According to OpenAI’s policies, accessing or offering access to their services outside of the officially supported countries and territories may result in your account being blocked or suspended. For Sora 2 and the Sora app, access is currently limited to the US and Canada, and Germany is not included in the supported regions at this time Sora App and Sora 2- Supported Countries.
OpenAI’s Services Agreement explicitly states that customers and end users may not access or offer access to the services outside of the supported countries and territories, and violations may result in service suspension OpenAI Services Agreement.
In summary: Using a VPN to bypass regional restrictions is against OpenAI’s terms and may risk your account.

Using a VPN to access OpenAI services like Sora 2 from unsupported countries is not recommended and is explicitly against OpenAI’s terms of service. OpenAI states that accessing or offering access to their services outside of the officially supported countries and territories may result in your account being blocked or suspended. This applies even if you are able to technically access the service using a VPN. For Sora 2 and the Sora app, access is currently limited to the US and Canada, and using a VPN to bypass these restrictions is a violation of OpenAI’s policies Sora App and Sora 2- Supported Countries OpenAI Services Agreement.
