Nonsense. Many if not all legit Claude users are using Claude Code inside their Cloud servers. How else would you use it anyway? For just local dev? That's so 2000 and late bro.

No, I'm not saying it's the exclusive and only measure (that would indeed be something we might see 20, 25 years ago), it's one of a myriad of discrete datapoints used to determine if an account is authentic or not.

There's a lot of inauthentic coordinated automated systems these days along the general lines of scraping/crawling/social media manipulation/sockpuppetry that require running through residential proxies or proxies to places that don't look like datacenter IP space.
