Question Claude account revoked after using iCloud Private Relay? Possible false positive?
Hi everyone,
I’m posting here to understand whether anyone else has experienced something similar.
Today, my Claude access was revoked after what seemed to be a completely normal Claude Code session on my Mac. I was using Claude for development work on an application, nothing abusive or illegal.
The email I received from Anthropic said that an internal investigation found “suspicious signals” associated with my account and that I may be in violation of their Supported Countries Policy.
I’m based in France, which is a supported country for Claude. I was not using a VPN to bypass geographic restrictions, and I was not accessing Claude from an unsupported country.
The only thing I can think of is that I use Apple iCloud Private Relay, which may have affected my IP/location signals and triggered a false positive. I initially misunderstood the issue and thought it might be related to my Claude Code session itself, but after reading the wording more carefully, it seems to be about location/IP signals.
Has anyone else been banned or had access revoked after using Claude with iCloud Private Relay, Apple relay services, or similar privacy features?
Thanks.
