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.
Anthropic said it is only available in the US and UK.. You don't need the Opera Browser for that.. You can use any VPN you like to change your location.. Besides, it's only temporary.. It only required you to specify your location when you registered.. After that, you can use it at any location; just make sure you go directly to https://claude.ai to avoid re-logging in.
