VPN for Claude: check chat, uploads and coding tools

Start on the device you will actually use. Download the free BratVPN app from the downloads page, then use the email form on this page to request a trial. You can keep these instructions open in a browser throughout setup.

Open Claude on the phone or computer where you normally work. Use a new, short question with no private information and wait for the complete answer. Compare the same kind of request on the same network before trying a longer task; loading your conversation history is only the first step.

If a response stops, check whether it continued in the existing conversation before submitting the request again. Save text that you have not sent. Reopening a tab can help compare sessions, but doing so repeatedly while a long request is running makes it harder to tell which attempt finished.

Test attachments only after a short text exchange works. Choose a small supported sample you are permitted to share. Identify whether the issue is selecting the file, transferring it or asking Claude about it. A filename appearing in the chat does not, by itself, confirm a successful response.

A message about length or usage is different from a connection waiting indefinitely. Follow the service's current advice for that message, such as reducing the material in a request. Keep original files and a private copy of your draft before changing the conversation or clearing browser data. Avoid sending confidential material just to diagnose connectivity.

If you use Claude Code, test the official tool on the computer where it runs. A working phone conversation does not establish that a terminal or editor can connect. Record whether the failure occurs during sign-in, a request or a command in your project; the last step may be a local development problem.

Use the official installation and authentication guidance for your version. On a managed computer, ask your administrator about an explicit network or permission message. Do not disable security protections or paste credentials into a public report. Browser success and a failed coding task can coexist for reasons that a VPN subscription cannot fix.

Claude's help distinguishes sign-in errors, usage warnings, capacity constraints and service incidents. Read the message before changing the connection. Its login guidance includes trying without a VPN, so a useful comparison can include your ordinary connection when the service and your account are eligible to use it.

BratVPN does not provide Claude Pro, Max or API credit, and it cannot reset usage limits or grant account permissions. Keep the platform, approximate time, affected feature and error wording for support. For account access and service billing, contact Claude support directly; leave prompts, uploaded files and authentication material out of a VPN report.

On iPhone or iPad, install through App Store and allow the VPN configuration when iOS asks. On Android, use Google Play or the official Android download when offered on the downloads page. Enter your activation code in BratVPN, not in the other app's login field.

For Windows and macOS, use the official installer on the downloads page and connect on that computer. A VPN connection on your phone does not automatically protect a separate laptop, television or other device. Keep only the VPN profile you intend to test connected.

After testing, open the purchase page to compare current plans and payment options. Save the activation code after payment is confirmed and follow the app instructions. You can also use the existing app or Telegram purchase options when convenient.

If a test fails, tell support the app version, device platform, approximate time, network type and the step that failed. Do not include passwords, email verification codes, VPN activation codes or private messages in a public report. BratVPN is independent of the services named here.
