Unidentified relay service gives Codex and Claude Code access in regions where they aren't sold, with security features disabled
Dark Reading reports that an enigmatic relay service is providing access to popular AI coding tools, OpenAI's Codex and Anthropic's Claude Code, to users in mainland China and other regions where the products are not officially sold, but with key security features such as sandboxing, the isolated environment that normally constrains the tool's generated code, turned off. The case shows how a product's geographic restrictions can be routed around through a third party, at the cost of exactly the safeguards the vendors built in. For a business, the risk isn't only legal, code running without a sandbox can do far more damage if something goes wrong.
