The recent wave of Claude account bans has been genuinely alarming.
People on X are sharing their ban experiences everywhere. Changing IPs, clearing device fingerprints, adjusting time zones, getting foreign phone numbers, and obtaining overseas credit cards—programmers are practically becoming cybersecurity experts.
I researched many tutorials and even consulted a hidden expert in West Lake.

Finally, I decided to change my approach.
Instead of tweaking local environments layer by layer, I moved the entire Claude workstation to Singapore.
I found a real Mac mini located in Singapore and installed NetEase UU Remote.
Now, whether at home, in the office, or on the go, I can directly take over that computer to run Claude and Claude Code.
I plan to test this continuously for 30 days.
As of writing, it is Day 5.
First, let me share my impressions: the experience with UU Remote is much smoother than I expected.
1. Why Choose Singapore Specifically?
First, GMT+8 Time Zone.
When it's 9 AM in Beijing, it's also 9 AM in Singapore. No time difference, no daylight saving adjustments, perfectly matching our work habits.
Second, proximity.
Compared to the US, Singapore is closer to China. My line measures about 70ms latency, making operations feel very responsive.
Third, Singapore is already on Anthropic's list of supported regions. Coincidentally, on October 14, Anthropic just announced opening an office in Singapore and signed a cooperation agreement with the local government.
Think of it as renting an office in Singapore.
2. Step One: Move the Computer to Singapore
Previously, when using Claude, we were always optimizing one chain:
Local PC → Local Environment → Overseas Exit → Anthropic.
Each additional layer adds another potential point of failure.
This time, I reversed the logic.
I used a Mac mini in Singapore, but you don't need to buy one exactly like this; renting a VPS is also a good option.
There are many vendors offering overseas Mac mini rentals now. I won't recommend specific ones; please do your own research.
Special Note: Rented computers involve account, key, and file security. This article only shares personal testing results, does not endorse any rental vendor, and does not guarantee that Claude accounts will not be banned.
I only needed to solve one thing: how to operate it remotely quickly and conveniently.
I even did a small experiment.
On domestic machines and Singapore machines respectively, I ran:
traceroute -n -I www.baidu.com
Accessing Baidu from both machines shows clearly different carrier networks and routing paths. Since DNS resolved to different target IPs, this isn't a strict same-target latency comparison, but it visually demonstrates the differences between the two network environments.
This proves the difference in runtime environments, although there is no evidence that Anthropic uses such route probing to determine user location.

Workstation Setup
After getting the Singapore Mac mini, do these things first.
① Time Zone
System Settings → General → Date & Time, select Singapore (Asia/Singapore).
Ensure logs and scheduled tasks use the workstation's local time.
② Location Services
System Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services.
Enable this directly. In Singapore, it's safe and beneficial.
③ Claude and Claude Code
Open Claude in a remote browser. Download and install Claude Desktop normally.
For Claude Code, use the official installation command:
Run claude --version to check the version, then complete the official login authorization.
④ Subscription Payment
I used a virtual card provided by Starryblu in Singapore.
Use my application link directly:

3. Step Two: NetEase UU Remote is Really Comfortable
Previously, I used NetEase UU Remote to create a mobile interface for my home Qwen 27B model.
This time, I'm reversing it: remotely taking over the Claude Code in Singapore.
Install the UU controlled-end software on the Singapore Mac mini, then connect from your local computer or phone.
What surprised me most was the speed.
My line measures about 70ms latency. For cross-border remote operation, typing, switching windows, and viewing Claude Code output all feel very responsive.
I previously thought remote operating an overseas computer would definitely lag, but this changed my impression.
Additionally, there are three features I particularly like.
① No Need to Open the Full Desktop Every Time.
You can open a terminal directly within UU to run Claude Code. The full TUI and interactive menus work normally.
② Run Multiple Agents Together.
One terminal for Claude Code, another for Pi. When you exit the terminal page on your phone, the session remains active, and the Agent continues working.
③ Easy Input on Mobile.
Directly call the system input method, and even use voice dictation for requirements, review the text, then send.

By the way, I made an open-source tool for UU. I am a heavy iTerm2 user, accustomed to Cmd+T for new tabs and Cmd+D for split screens, and didn't want to change my workflow. So I wrote
uu-term-bridge. After setting up the default Profile, new terminals opened on Mac are immediately visible on the phone via UU; new terminals created on the phone automatically pop up in Mac's iTerm2 within about two seconds. Combined with SSH, you can access the Singapore workstation from your local terminal. Cross-machine connections require additional configuration and are not automatically implemented by the plugin. It is open source:https://github.com/limin112/min-skill/tree/main/tools/uu-term-bridge Use iTerm2 locally, use UU on your phone when out, and Claude Code always works in Singapore.
4. No Mac Mini? VPS is Also a Good Choice
Actually, this solution doesn't depend on specific hardware.
You can research machine resources in Singapore yourself, or directly rent a Linux VPS. There's no need to buy a dedicated Mac mini just to run Claude Code.
Linux itself supports Claude Code. Ubuntu + SSH + tmux enables remote development, and sessions continue running after disconnection.
NetEase UU Remote's Linux support is also worth anticipating; rumors suggest news soon.
Claude Code doesn't necessarily have to operate only on a Singapore machine.
Another interesting direction: Remote Networking.
I still have a Mac and GPU server at home, and I don't want to move all code and models to Singapore.
Ideally, through remote networking, connect the Singapore workstation with home devices.
The Singapore Claude Code handles task scheduling, the home GPU server handles computation, and I can take over anytime via NetEase UU Remote on my phone.
5. 30-Day Survival Challenge
Whether this solution can remain stable for 30 days, I don't know yet.
However, after using it for a few days, the experience with NetEase UU Remote has indeed surprised me.
Claude Code runs in Singapore, I write code normally locally, and when I go out, I can pull out my phone to continue assigning tasks.
Previously, I spent every day tweaking environments; now I can finally focus back on coding.
Day 5, keep going. See you in 30 days.
