An egress-stability and account-risk guard for developers running Claude Code behind proxies
Developers in restricted regions run Claude Code through proxies and keep losing paid accounts to风-control bans, usually after the proxy silently switches exit region or usage spikes right after signup. They discover the ban only when the terminal stops working, and refunds do not give back lost project time.
The problem
When using Claude Code behind a proxy, the exit region can silently fail over mid-session, and a brand-new account hammering the top model can be disabled within days. The user finds out only from a red 'account disabled' banner, loses the paid plan and days of refactoring momentum, and has to guess which behavior (region switching? usage pacing? model choice?) triggered it.
What could be built
A lightweight local guard (menu-bar app or CLI wrapper) that pins all agent traffic to one chosen exit region, blocks automatic failover, and alerts in real time when the observed exit IP or geo changes. It also tracks usage pacing against the plan tier with warnings before unusual spikes, logs which provider/model was used per task, and keeps a local session journal so work context survives a ban and can be restored on a new account.
