Seems to only be available in the US and UK for now tho.

Luckily it doesn't need a phone number like OpenAI so you can just VPN it.

You shouldn't have to though. The whole "only available if you happen to live in X" is so much bs when it comes to things like this. Sure if it was a giveaway and needed to be shipped, I could understand. But a website being locked away to only certain regions is ridiculous.

I suspect it has to do with legal compliance. Only available in US = only needing to comply with US law.

I tried using a VPN and it still didn't allow me to sign up.

I've used ProtonVPN and managed to sign in easily
