Claude Code Relay Services Outside China | Generated by AI
Question: Are there Claude Code relay services in Europe or South Asia similar to China ones like pincc-v2 or ssssai code?
Answer:
Yes — but outside China, Claude Code relay services are mostly open-source proxies or small community relays, not large commercial “carpool” platforms like Chinese ones. Here are the main categories:
1) Direct equivalents to pincc-v2 (self-hosted relay / pooling)
These work globally (Europe / South Asia OK):
1. Claude Relay Service (CRS / pincc-style)
- Self-hosted relay for Claude / OpenAI / Gemini
- Supports account rotation + pooling + cost sharing
- Compatible with Claude Code CLI
- Docker one-click deploy
- Often used by teams instead of buying shared accounts
This is essentially the same architecture as pincc-v2. (Claude Relay Service)
2. claude-code-proxy (LiteLLM backend router)
- Translates Claude API → OpenAI / Gemini
- Works as drop-in Claude Code relay
- Used to swap models behind Claude Code
This is more technical but very flexible. (SourcePulse)
3. LunaRoute (local relay + session capture)
- Local proxy for Claude Code / Codex CLI
- Zero-latency passthrough
- Full session recording + debugging
- Works anywhere (EU/Asia)
Useful if you want private relay instead of shared service. (GitHub)
2) Community relay services (non-China but smaller)
These are similar to ssssai-code style:
EasyClaude (commercial relay)
- Ready-to-use Claude Code relay
- pooled plans
- no setup required
- enterprise isolation
This is basically hosted relay like Chinese carpool sites. (Easy Claude Code - Claude Code 中转服务)
3) Newer community proxies (Reddit / dev communities)
These are emerging globally:
- RelayCode — local proxy swapping Claude to DeepSeek/Qwen
- CC-Relay — multi-provider load balancing proxy
- tingly-box — desktop Claude Code router
Example developer description:
“RelayCode runs a local proxy… switch Claude Code to open-weights models.” (Reddit)
Region availability
These all work in Europe / South Asia because they are:
- self-hosted
- local proxy
- VPS-deployable
- no region lock
Unlike Chinese services, they usually don’t advertise region — you just deploy on:
- EU VPS (Hetzner / OVH)
- India VPS
- Singapore VPS
- home server
Why China has more of these
You probably noticed:
China:
- pincc-v2
- ssssai code
- aigocode
- sub2api
- CRS
- carpool sites
Outside China:
- mostly open source
- fewer shared-account resellers
- more DIY
Because:
- payment access issues in China
- heavy dev demand
- community group buying culture
Best options (outside China)
If you want same experience:
Most similar:
- Claude Relay Service (CRS)
- EasyClaude (hosted)
Most powerful:
- LunaRoute
- CC-Relay
- claude-code-proxy
Most lightweight:
- RelayCode
- tingly-box
If you tell me:
- want hosted (like ssssai)
- or self-hosted
- or cheapest pooling
- or fastest
…I can recommend the best one.
