I can’t even create an account with ClaudeAI. It always just says “New registrations are closed for the moment” or something like that. Have been seeing this for an year now I think.

But you pay more for what is essentially the same with a VPN. You have to buy a VPN subscription on top of your internet subscription, get less speed because your internet traffic is being routed through a different country and get no benefit to privacy. The only use case for a VPN is when you have to bypass georestrictions.
