"Banned 80+ Claude accounts": how an anti-ban Skill got a thousand stars in two days during a ban wave
What it is A Chinese-language Skill for Codex. It first asks about your system, network, and budget, then walks you step by step through setting up a local, VM, or VPS environment for using Claude, aiming to minimize account bans.
Why it caught on In October, Chinese media focused on "Anthropic banned 11.4M accounts in half a year," and people were anxious. The author launched on LINUX DO with the title "banned 80+ accounts," and a Chinese X account picked it up the same day. The format was also the newest and most complete among its peers.
CHow you can follow Stop making Claude anti-ban guides. Copy the structure instead: when a platform is mass-banning accounts or changing rules (Google Play, Apple developer accounts, Stripe risk controls), turn your firsthand experience into a full "ask first, then recommend" Skill workflow, launch it on LINUX DO the day the event breaks, and get a Chinese X account to repost it.

DUNHKpcc/Claude-Guardian is a Chinese-language Skill you install into Codex. It makes the Agent first ask about your system, network and budget, then walks you step by step through setting up your Claude environment, with the goal of getting you banned less. Oct 25, the author posted on LINUX DO with the title "80 Claude accounts banned," and that same day a Chinese AI account on X reposted it. Within two days the repo went from under 100 stars to nearly 1000, then to 11-06 at 1811 stars and 237 forks. The playbook is worth studying, but the topic is already crowded, and the spark came from a one-time ban wave plus a persona nobody else can take.
A Saturday afternoon post
On 2026 October 25, at 3:39 pm Beijing time, user DUNHKPcc posted in the Develop section of LINUX DO, tagged "open-source promotion," with the title:
"Banned 80+ Claude accounts. 3 years of experience distilled, shared with the bros"
The body was only a few lines: "I've summarized the pitfalls I hit across 80+ accounts and many methods. This is probably the most complete collection of Claude guides out there, covering everything from account registration to running it, so even beginners can safely try the opus model." Replies were mostly "awesome, plus", "starred it, will check it out when I have time", and "trying it now". Someone asked whether the 80 accounts were tested in batches, and the author replied: "Yes, in batches, controlling variables. A guide to stable reverse proxies for Pro is coming later." By 11-06, the thread had 6.6k views, 685 likes, and 126 replies (LINUX DO thread page).
That same evening, a bit after 9 pm, the Chinese AI account alley wu on X posted: "Anti-ban experience from 80+ Claude accounts, and a brother has just open-sourced it!" They praised two things: it's more worth studying than merchants who claim "absolutely won't get banned" but don't disclose their methods; and "the most convenient part is you don't have to dig through tutorials one by one."
The author's GitHub account was created 2024 years ago. It has only this one repo, 9 followers, and a bio that reads "I want an RTX SPARK."
What people were afraid of in those weeks
Oct 10, Chinese-language outlets like 动察, 驱动中国 and PANews all ran the same set of numbers: Anthropic's transparency report says that in 2026 H1 it banned 11.4M accounts, and only 42k of 398k appeals were overturned. unwire.hk pointed out the data came out in Jul 23, so October was just a recycled story. Add the new usage policy taking effect Nov 12, and people expect another round. Chinese-speaking users did get a wave of bans around National Day, and alley wu posted in late October: "Renewed the annual plan only 2 days ago, team account banned anyway."
On Zhihu, Bilibili, and YouTube, "2026 October anti-ban guides" came out one after another. People were already panicking, and Guardian was released right at that moment.
What it is
A knowledge base for Agents to read, plus an interview workflow and several scripts. To install, copy one folder into ~/.codex/skills, then tell Codex: "I'm about to subscribe to Claude for the first time, I'm on a Mac, help me compare local vs VM first."
- Ask first, then give a plan: The README says "hundreds of interview questions, scheduled by conditions." It first asks what stage you're at, what system you use, and what network resources you have. Only after you pick a route (local machine, VM, or VPS) does it ask questions specific to that route.
- Covers everything from before you subscribe to after the ban: where the exit IP comes from (airport, self-hosted, shared home broadband), registration and upgrade pacing (how long from Free to Pro to Max), payment methods, mobile-side checks, 403 / 429 / 529 error triage, appeal templates, and cleanup after a ban. It also ships scripts for firewall checks, kill-switch protection, and IPv4-only exit.
- The rules come first: "Money and accounts are yours to handle," "we don't need your credentials," "don't touch Claude during the prep stage," "no one can guarantee you won't get banned." Operations fall into three authorization tiers: read-only diagnostics the Agent runs on its own, a one-time approval for installing the client, and your explicit confirmation on the spot for changing firewalls or touching accounts and money. The first screen also states it does not handle bypassed KYC, finished accounts, or top-ups on someone's behalf.
One more detail: using Codex to set up Claude's environment happens to match the "don't touch Claude during the prep stage" rule.
The README's first screen has two images. One links to the author's own Claude API relay station, the other to a paid "done-for-you setup" service. The free Skill keeps people who can do it themselves, and those who find it too much hassle go buy the service.
How the stars grew
| Date | Stars gained that day | What happened |
|---|---|---|
| 10-15 ~ 10-24 | About 76 total | Repo created, barely promoted |
| 10-25 | +442 | LINUX DO launch post; alley wu tweets it |
| 10-26 | +446 | Residual heat; NodeSeek reposts it with a note saying "saw it on Twitter"; knowthing copies the original LINUX DO post |
| 10-27 | +155 | aishare publishes a feature article |
| 10-30, 10-31 | +148 each | Second wave; no matching post found, inferred to be secondary reposts on YouTube / X |
| After 11-01 | +27 ~ 49 per day | V2EX's "Claude anti-ban tool" post (11-05), X @Huahuazo pushes it again (11-06) |
(Trendshift daily star counts, days cut at UTC; 10-25 reached #25 site-wide on Trendshift and #8 in Python.)
The fork-to-star ratio is worth a look: 237 vs 1811, about 13%. The largest in its category, yacuo/check-cc, has 2,821 stars and 64 forks, only 2.3% (GitHub, 11-06). That suggests plenty of people actually installed it and modified it, not just bookmarked it.
Why this one got reposted
On the same topic, GitHub already has a row of projects:
| Project | Stars | Compared with alternatives |
|---|---|---|
| yacuo/check-cc | 2,821 | A web tool that checks your risk score in one click; July has it too, and it's also growing in the same period (7 days +471) |
| Fishason/Claude-anti-ban | 459 | A long-form guide |
| cso1z/claude-ip-guard | 230 | Claude Code plugin that only blocks by IP geolocation |
| huasanai/vps-vpn-clash-setup | 195 | Only covers VPS + Clash for getting a clean IP |
| l2461090/claude-post-ban-cleanup | 102 | Only handles cleanup after a ban |
| xnydl/claude-code-guard and others | A few to a few dozen | Also Skills, but each does one or two things |
(GitHub, 11-06.)
Guardian came a few months after them, and in 22 days it caught up to about 60% of check-cc's stars. Three reasons:
One, the persona. Whether "banned 80 accounts" is true can't be verified, but it hits people who are scared of getting banned right now. The "contributing to the bros" framing also fits LINUX DO's community culture.
Two, the form is new. Other projects are either long essays or only test one thing. This one packages the whole pipeline as an Agent Skill that asks questions. Anyone sharing it can explain its appeal in one sentence: you don't have to dig through tutorials yourself.
Three, it looks restrained in a gray area. This space is full of scammers. It explicitly says it doesn't want your credentials, doesn't sell finished accounts, requires your approval for high-risk actions, and promises no guaranteed ban-proofing. That is exactly what alley wu picked out when sharing it.
Still, timing is what really lit the fuse. check-cc was growing in the same period, which shows overall demand was rising. Guardian caught that wave in the most urgent days, with the most striking headline.
Followers have already arrived
After 10-26, a batch of same-topic repos popped up: TIANTIAN-ZHAN/cc-anti-ban-skill (10-27) and ferzat0918/cc-anti-ban (11-02), both in Skill form, DarkKandaoMaster/claude-survival-guide with 8 stars, 2WalterW/ClaudeWilson with 28 stars, elioinvest/Crew with 25 stars, plus claude-shield and claude-code-survival-guide. All of them are stuck at a few dozen stars or fewer (GitHub, 11-06).
The "anti-ban Skill" format was copied within a week, but the copiers got no stars. They lacked the two hardest of the three things above: a strong persona and the right moment to post.
If it were you
C: Learn its playbook, but don't copy its topic. The anti-ban topic is already held by it and check-cc, and the copycat repos stall at a few dozen stars. It ignited on a one-off wave of bans and a "80 accounts" persona you can't borrow. The whole category also sits against platform rules: if Anthropic's risk controls change, the content can stop working, and the project risks being reported.
Who it suits: developers who have real first-hand experience of "hitting many pitfalls" in a field that is currently in trouble, and who know how to post in Chinese developer communities like LINUX DO and V2EX.
Who it doesn't suit: anyone wanting to build yet another Claude anti-ban Skill (too late, and you lack that persona); anyone unwilling to work in the gray zone of platform rules; anyone wanting a project with steady long-term star growth (this kind rises and falls with the news).
How to do it: what's worth borrowing is the structure "a platform gets into trouble, and first-hand experience becomes a Skill that asks questions." Change the topic:
- Same kind of anxiety on another platform: wherever a platform is mass-banning accounts, throttling, or changing rules, build a full "from prep to appeal" Skill for that platform. Examples: Google Play developer account reviews and bans for overseas indie devs, Apple developer accounts, Stripe risk controls, overseas ad account bans. These are compliant issues, and there are still few Skills covering them.
- Copy its packaging: put a specific, striking number from your experience in the title; state the bottom lines clearly on the first screen of the README (no credentials, you confirm high-risk actions, no guarantees); tiered authorization; a conversation example that starts in one sentence.
- Fill what it didn't do well: it has almost no evidence of results. Whoever can show real records of "how long it's been without incident after following the steps" is more worth sharing than it is.
How to get users: launch on LINUX DO with the "open-source promotion" tag (declare full open source as the rules require, and link back to the community), and on the same day get one or two Chinese AI accounts on X to repost it. Afterward V2EX and NodeSeek will repost it on their own, and skill marketplaces will index it automatically.
When is "before" the right time: you have to wait for the next platform incident. The one or two weeks of greatest anxiety are the window. Get the thing ready beforehand, and publish the day the news breaks. For the specific Claude anti-ban topic, another wave could come around the time the new November 12 policy takes effect, but newcomers are already too late for it.
What would show you read it wrong: ① if you build the same full-pipeline Skill for a platform that is in trouble, and the community launch doesn't reach 200 stars within a week, then this time the persona and topic were doing the work, not the format itself; ② conversely, if after 11-12 a new Claude anti-ban Skill climbs past a thousand stars, the topic isn't saturated yet, and this judgment was too conservative.

Why DUNHKpcc/Claude-Guardian took off
Research date 2026-11-06. Data: our GitHub repo tables (repo_profile / repo_day, from 10-24), the Trendshift daily table, the GitHub API, and web search (Jina / Exa).
One line
A Chinese-language "Claude anti-ban" Agent Skill (mainly for Codex) that packages the author's experience of "banning 80 accounts," hundreds of interview questions, and network and firewall check scripts. The Agent first asks about your system, network, and budget, then walks you through setting up a local machine, VM, or VPS environment. It rode the peak of anxiety over the October 2026 Claude ban wave in the Chinese community. A single LINUX DO post plus reposts from Chinese AI accounts on X took it from about 90 stars to about 1000 stars in two days. The free Skill itself makes no money. The README's first screen funnels traffic to the author's own Claude API relay station (DPCC API) and paid "done-for-you setup" service.
Data
- Created 2026-10-15. Author account DUNHKpcc (registered 2024-09, 9 followers, bio "我想要一台 RTX SPARK", homepage api.dpccgaming.xyz). As of 11-06, 248 commits total, updated very often.
- Stars (our database): 10-24 76 → 10-25 87 → 10-26 512 → 10-27 939 → 10-28 1158 → 11-01 1581 → 11-06 1761; live GitHub API: 1811 stars, 237 forks.
- Trendshift daily (days cut at UTC, so one day ahead of our database): 10-22 +4,10-23 +46,10-25 +442, 10-26 +446, 10-27 +155,10-30, and 10-31 +148,11-01 each, then +27~49 per day after. 10-25 hit #25 site-wide on Trendshift, #8,10-26 in Python and #12 in Python. (https://trendshift.io/repositories/315286)
- Fork/star ratio about 13%. The largest similar project, yacuo/check-cc, has only about 2.3% (2821 stars, 64 forks; ours is 11-06). Suggests many people actually installed and modified it, not just bookmarked it.
- The repo is only 22 days old. GitHub trending only tracks repos with about 60 days of history, so not appearing there means nothing.
1. Why it took off
Timing: the anxiety over "Claude account ban waves" in the Chinese-speaking world
- 2026-10-10 to 10-11: Chinese media is recycling Anthropic's transparency report: www.beating.news/flash/371159, www.qudong.com/article/525948.html, and PANews all ran the headline "2026 banned 11.4M accounts in the first half, and of 398k appeals, only 42k were overturned." unwire.hk points out the data was first published in July 23, so October's coverage is a rehash. Meanwhile, the new usage policy takes effect on Nov 12, and people are worried another ban wave is coming (https://unwire.hk/2026/10/11/claude-usage-policy-november-2026/fun-tech/).
- There was indeed a wave of bans in the Chinese-speaking community around National Day: some articles said discussions of "Claude bans" passed a million views during the holiday, and alley wu posted in late October things like "I just renewed the annual plan for 2 days and the team account got banned" (https://x.com/alleywu270684/status/2113574338809286725).
- Tutorials on this are flooding in: Zhihu, Tencent Cloud, Bilibili and YouTube all have "2026 anti-ban guides" for the October update. The demand is ready-made and urgent, and Guardian launched right at the peak.
How it spread (with evidence)
- LINUX DO launch post: 2026-10-25 07:39 UTC (Beijing time 15:39). Titled "Got 80 Claude accounts banned; I'm sharing the essence of 3 years of experience with the community", tagged "open-source promotion". As of today: 6.6k views, 685 likes, 126 replies, mostly "awesome", "thanks for sharing", "trying it right now" (https://linux.do/t/topic/3072288). The README also says the link is endorsed by LINUX DO, which is the requirement for open-source promotion there.
- X Chinese AI account alley wu (same day, 13:19 UTC): "Anti-ban experience from 80 Claude accounts, a brother just open-sourced it!" Positioned it as "more worth studying than sellers who claim 'never banned' but won't disclose their method" (https://x.com/alleywu270684/status/2114346219636215817). The day these posts went out and the day after are the same two days Trendshift showed +442 and +446.
- Secondary spread: 10-26 someone on NodeSeek reposted it ("saw it on Twitter", www.nodeseek.com/post-1011333-1); the same day knowthing.cn mirrored the LINUX DO post; 10-27 aishare.jizhiku wrote a feature piece; 10-29 X account "AI奶爸" posted a similar environment-check skill; 11-05 V2EX had a "Claude anti-ban magic tool" thread; 11-06 X @Huahuazo (LanfAI) reposted it again (377 views, x.com/Huahuazo/status/2118668719119372313). There's also a YouTube Short "Claude Guardian", and the TypingMind skill marketplace auto-indexed it (https://www.typingmind.com/skills/dunhkpcc-claude-guardian).
- The second surge of 10-30 and 10-31 (each +148) has no specific post I could find. My guess is secondary reposts on YouTube / X (unverified).
Why people are willing to star / fork
- The persona "banned 80+ accounts" is strong; it hits people who are scared of getting banned right in the gut. The "sharing with the community" stance also fits LINUX DO's culture well.
- The format fits: not another long post, but "install it into Codex, tell it your setup, and it walks you through configuring it step by step." alley wu's words: "The most convenient part is you don't have to dig through tutorials one by one."
- A lot of material: route choice, exit IP sources (airport proxies / self-hosted / residential shared), registration and account-warming pace (gaps between Free→Pro→Max), payment method roundup, mobile-side checklist, appeal templates, post-ban cleanup, plus scripts like a fail-closed firewall and IPv4-only exit detection. Much of the star count is "bookmark it, use it later."
- Built-in sense of safety: a few bottom lines are stated clearly: "money and accounts are yours, I don't want your credentials, don't touch Claude during the prep phase." High-risk actions are split into three authorization tiers A/B/C. It also states "no KYC-bypass services, no finished accounts, no proxy top-ups." In a grey-market space full of scammers, this noticeably lowers people's guard.
2. Competitors
| Name | Form | Launched | Scale | How Guardian differs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| yacuo/check-cc(checkcc.org) | Open source + web detection site | 2026-07-06 | 2821 stars, 7 days +471 (our database 11-06) | A one-click tool that gives a risk score; it doesn't walk you through setup. Fork rate only 2.3%. |
| Fishason/Claude-anti-ban | Open-source docs | 2026-06-23 | 459 stars, +7 in 79 days | Pure long-form guide, not an Agent Skill; it can't interact with your machine. |
| cso1z/claude-ip-guard | Claude Code hook plugin | 2026-03-20 | 230 stars | Only does IP geolocation blocking; very narrow scope. |
| huasanai/vps-vpn-clash-setup | Tutorials | 2026-03-15 | 195 stars | Only covers VPS + Clash for getting a clean IP |
| l2461090/claude-post-ban-cleanup | Scripts / Skills | 2026-10-02 | 102 stars | Only handles cleanup after a ban |
| sunreview/anti-claude | Docs | 2026-10-22 | 85 stars | Experience post, thin in form. |
| xnydl/claude-code-guard | Skill | 2026-08-17 | 29 stars | Also a Skill, but only covers a fixed exit and cleanup. |
| swaylq/account-risk-skill (anti-ban.skill) | Skill | 2026-05-19 | 8 stars | Only does compliance risk assessment; conservative positioning, explicitly declines to offer evasion. |
| BroderQi/CCNest, meliwanx/ccmiss, xie8266509/NetEnvCheck, etc. | Desktop / local tools | 2026-06~10 | 3~23 stars | Single-point detection tools |
| Paid anti-ban services / fingerprint browsers (AdsPower, GeeLark blogs), residential IP sellers, sellers of "Peking University team anti-ban plans" | Paid service | Has been around all along | Unknown | Paid and closed-source. Guardian is free and open source, so comparing "public method" against them is credible. |
| Plenty of long-form tutorials on Zhihu / Bilibili / YouTube / X. | Item | Ongoing | Single posts at tens of thousands of views | Static content; doesn't adapt to your environment. |
Big companies don't have an equivalent: Anthropic's stance is to ban these usages, so it can't build this.
3. Differentiation, and whether that's why it took off
- Format difference: a "knowledge base + state-machine interview + scripts" packaged as an Agent Skill, mainly for Codex. The competitors are either long posts or single-point detection tools. Guardian lets the agent act as an advisor, asking first and then giving a plan. A clever touch is using Codex to set up the Claude environment, which matches the bottom line "don't touch Claude during prep."
- Coverage difference: from before subscribing, registration, payment, exit IP, three run routes, line optimization, fault triage (403/429/529), and appeals, all the way to post-ban cleanup, so the full chain is covered. That's why the author dares to say it's "probably the most complete available."
- Trust difference: tiered authorization, no credential handling, explicitly saying "no one can guarantee you won't be banned" is the opposite of sellers promising "never banned." alley wu's repost picked up exactly this point.
- Is this the cause: differentiation is necessary, but what actually ignited it is timing (ban wave) + persona (80 accounts) + LINUX DO / X launch. Evidence: check-cc, an earlier and bigger detection tool, was also rising during the same period (7 days +471), showing the whole demand was growing. Guardian reached about six-tenths of check-cc's star count within 22 days, thanks to the new Skill format, full-chain content, and the emotional launch posts.
4. Growth tactics and monetization (where the money comes back)
- Channels: LINUX DO "open-source promotion" post (confirmed), reposts by big Chinese X AI accounts (confirmed: alley wu, LanfAI), NodeSeek / V2EX / aggregator reposts (confirmed), auto-indexing by skill marketplaces like TypingMind (confirmed), Telegram channel and QQ group to retain users (stated in README). No paid acquisition seen.
- Monetization: the README's top "Partners" section has two images: ① "Too lazy to set up the environment yourself? Try DPCC API, full-power Claude", linking to the author's own Claude / multi-model API relay station api.dpccgaming.xyz (a relay panel in the style of New API, with an invite commission and a PccAgent desktop client); ② "Claude-Guardian managed setup", linking to /guardian/services for booking remote setup, paid on-site. The README ending also says "don't want to get your hands dirty, join the QQ group, 1 for 1 custom plans and deployment by proxy." The official site homepage displays the GitHub star count (1811) as a trust signal.
- The logic: a free Skill attracts people afraid of bans → those who can handle it themselves stay as word-of-mouth → people who find it too much hassle switch to buying relay API (no need to use their own account at all) or paid managed setup. The harder it is to avoid bans, the easier the relay station sells. It's a well-hedged funnel. I didn't capture the managed-setup pricing page, so revenue is unclear.
5. How many people know about it / copycats
- Visibility: already widely spread in the small Chinese AI developer circles (LINUX DO 6.6k views, multiple Chinese X accounts, NodeSeek, V2EX, aggregators). Almost absent in the English world. No public revenue.
- Copycats: after 10-26, a batch of small repos on the same topic appeared, each with single to a few dozen stars, e.g. DarkKandaoMaster/claude-survival-guide (10-26,8 stars), TIANTIAN-ZHAN/cc-anti-ban-skill (10-27, Skill format), ferzat0918/cc-anti-ban (11-02, Skill format), 2WalterW/ClaudeWilson (11-04,28 stars), elioinvest/Crew (10-28,25 stars), suhongshuo6-cell/claude-shield, huangzhuzhu75-bit/claude-code-survival-guide, and others. The "anti-ban Skill" format is already being copied.
6. What to borrow
- Run a "free open-source tool + paid managed service / alternative" funnel at the peak of demand emotion (platform ban waves, policy news). The tool itself should look neutral and restrained; the paid side is best when it's a replacement that hedges the problem (here, an API relay).
- Turning one domain's experience into an Agent Skill (knowledge base + state-machine interview + rollback-capable scripts) spreads better than a long post and is easier to fork.
- Picking the right launch community: LINUX DO's "open-source promotion" tag plus a punchy persona title, then relayed by Chinese X accounts, can get over a thousand stars in two days.
- Putting the star count on the official site as trust backing for a paid service.
7. Still unclear
- Whether the "80 banned accounts" experience is real can't be verified; there's no evidence the scripts actually lower ban rates in real use.
- The sources of the 10-23 (+46) and 10-30~31 surges weren't found in specific posts.
- The transaction volume and pricing of DPCC API and managed setup are unknown; the relay station itself carries compliance risk (reselling relays is exactly what Anthropic cracks down on).
- I didn't check stargazer details, so a small amount of star padding can't be ruled out; but the high fork rate and real LINUX DO engagement make large-scale star farming unlikely.
- The lifespan of this niche depends on Anthropic's risk-control policy and China's regulatory stance; if the platform acts (e.g., tighter KYC), the tutorials may well stop working.
