Anthropic's **Claude 3.5 Sonnet** sits in the sweet spot of the AI landscape—more capable than Haiku and faster/cheaper than Opus. For developers and content creators in Bangladesh, it's becoming a go-to tool. However, accessing it directly from Bangladesh remains a challenge due to regional restrictions. ## The Challenge Official access to Claude is often restricted to specific regions. Users in Bangladesh typically face: * **Geo-blocking**: You simply can't sign up or log in without a VPN. * **Payment Barriers**: Foreign credit cards are needed for Claude Pro subscriptions. * **Verification Issues**: Phone number verification often rejects Bangladeshi numbers. ## How to Get Access ### 1. The VPN Route (Risky) You can use a high-quality VPN to set your location to the US or UK. * *Pros*: Direct access to the official interface. * *Cons*: High risk of account bans. Anthropic is aggressive about banning accounts accessed via known VPN IPs. Payment is still a major hurdle. ### 2. Third-Party API Wrappers Some developers use the API via platforms like OpenRouter, but this requires crypto payments or foreign cards and a pay-per-token mindset which can be stressful for casual users. ### 3. MangoMind (Recommended) For the smoothest experience, **MangoMind** offers direct access to Claude 3.5 Sonnet specifically tailored for Bangladeshi users, making us the go-to **AI platform Bangladesh**. * **Local Payment**: Use **bKash payment AI** or Nagad.
