Ask HN: I can't try ChatGPT, any ideas?

5 points by mrwnmonm 4y ago

I am from Egypt. ChatGPT is not available here for some reason. When I try I get this "OpenAI's services are not available in your country." I tried a VPN, a US server, and it still didn't work. Anyone from somewhere else has the same issue? Did you find a way to try it? (on the site itself, not through another app)

You can use @ChatGPTBot on twitter. I've been running it for the past 2 months. Lots of folks in countries that have trouble accessing the official webapp are able to use the twitter bot :) It's also open source here: https://github.com/transitive-bullshit/chatgpt-twitter-bot https://github.com/transitive-bullshit/chatgpt-twitter-bot

try https://koala.sh/ https://koala.sh/ It is another app though. No idea how it mirrors chatGPT, so beware of privacy risk.

Try using tailscale. Buy a server on DO and tunnel through that.
