To access Claude 2 from Europe, you have several options[1][2][3]:
Access Claude 2 directly: According to Mashable[1], all you need to do is click "Talk to Claude" on the Claude 2 website and provide an email address. After confirming the email address, you should be able to use Claude 2.
Use a VPN: Cybernews[3] recommends using a VPN to access Claude 2 if you're outside the US or the UK. This is because Claude 2 is only officially available in those two countries. The VPN will allow you to connect to a server in the US or UK and access Claude 2 as if you were located in one of those countries. There are several VPNs that Cybernews recommends for use with Claude 2.
Use the Opera browser with integrated VPN: According to a YouTube video[2], you can use the Opera browser with its integrated VPN to access Claude 2 from Europe. The video provides a step-by-step guide on how to set this up.
It's worth noting that the EU has proposed stricter rules for high-risk AI[5]. While Claude 2 is not specifically mentioned in these rules, it's possible that they could impact the use of AI chatbots like Claude 2 in the future.
I can confirm that the Opera method works. I couldn't create an account before but I've managed to create the account using the built-in VPN of the Opera browser.
