AI Services Access Guide: Using Just My Socks for ChatGPT, Gemini & Claude

With the explosive growth of AI technology, ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Claude have become essential tools. However, these services have varying regional restrictions. This guide explains how to access them with Just My Socks.

💡 For: Users who need to access ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and other AI services

🔄 Important update (2026-07-21): The HK IPLC plan this guide used to recommend has been confirmed removed from the official plan list — it’s no longer purchasable. Just My Socks has also posted several Gemini access fixes since January 2026, showing Google keeps upgrading its proxy/VPN detection — a reminder that AI service accessibility shifts with both providers’ policies, not something a single plan purchase locks in forever. We’ve made the recommendations below more conservative; please open a support ticket to confirm which current plan/node actually supports the AI service you need before buying.

Just My Socks Plan AI Support

Plan Comparison for AI Services

Plan	ChatGPT	Gemini	Claude	Rating
LA 500 / LA 1000	⚠️ Unstable	⚠️ Depends on Google’s current policy	⚠️ Unstable	⭐⭐
London 500 / 1000	⚠️ Not recently verified	⚠️ Depends on Google’s current policy	⚠️ Not recently verified	⭐⭐⭐
HK CMI series	⚠️ Not recently verified	⚠️ Depends on Google’s current policy	⚠️ Not recently verified	⭐⭐⭐
HK Premium series	⚠️ Not recently verified	⚠️ Depends on Google’s current policy	⚠️ Not recently verified	⭐⭐⭐
Tokyo series	⚠️ Not recently verified	⚠️ Depends on Google’s current policy	⚠️ Not recently verified	⭐⭐⭐

⚠️ Important: LA (Los Angeles) plans have IPs that are frequently detected and blocked by AI platforms due to high usage — not recommended as a first choice for ChatGPT and Claude. The other plans (London, HK CMI, HK Premium, Tokyo) have historically had a good reputation, but since OpenAI and Google keep adjusting their detection, and the previously recommended HK IPLC plan has been discontinued, we don’t have current first-hand data confirming which plan supports which AI service right now. We recommend contacting support before buying, or using the 7-day no-questions-asked refund policy to test a plan yourself before committing long-term.

Why are LA Plans Unstable?

1. IP Sharing: LA nodes have many users, many requests to AI services from same IP
2. IP Pool Detection: OpenAI maintains datacenter IP blacklists
3. Abuse Risk: Some users violate terms, causing IP bans
