Service eligibility and regional restrictions
PuppyIP serves only compliant overseas businesses and their authorized personnel. Proxy services are not available in mainland China. The service may only be used for lawful business activities outside mainland China. Use of this service within mainland China is prohibited.
Hosting a proxy IP or server overseas does not change these restrictions. The service must not be provided to end users in mainland China through relaying, forwarding, sharing or resale. Before use, read the Terms of Service.
Key Takeaways
- Distinguish official accounts, API calls, mirrored entry points and relay services first.
- Look beyond price to stability, transparent billing and how data is handled.
- Do not entrust important projects, keys or customer information to an AI relay environment of unknown origin.
Step 1: Identify the service type
AI relay services generally forward user requests to an AI service entry point. The intermediary may manage accounts, model selection, usage-based billing and quotas. This is not the same as holding your own official account or API key.
Before use, establish whether the service offers a web interface, API forwarding, model aggregation or an internal enterprise proxy. These have different stability characteristics, data boundaries and responsibilities.
Step 2: Check billing and data security
Do not consider unit price alone. Check whether billing is clear, failed requests are charged, records can be exported and data-storage practices are explained.
Do not send production keys, customer information, unpublished code or payment information to an AI relay service of unknown origin. Test stability first using redacted text and ordinary tasks.
Step 3: Prepare a stable access environment
Whether you use an official or relay entry point, network instability affects sign-in, calls and returned results. For long-term use, keep a fixed proxy exit and workstation environment to reduce frequent changes.
To prepare a stable proxy environment for AI tools, visit the PuppyIP website. For basic proxy configuration, see the PuppyIP tutorials.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are AI relay services always unsafe?
Not necessarily. First assess the service’s origin, billing rules, data handling and long-term stability. Do not readily submit important data.
Why does an AI relay still need a stable proxy environment?
Sign-in, API calls and dashboard management all depend on stable networking. Frequent proxy changes make troubleshooting harder.
