OpenAI Codex browses from the cloud machine

This page as markdown: https://aluvia.io/geo/codex.md

Codex on a cloud machine opens URLs from that host. The operator's laptop is irrelevant. The site sees the datacenter IP, so a regional catalog or a not-available-in-your-region page is the VM's country.

The operator asked Codex to load a country's storefront, a ship-to check, or a page that refuses some regions. Codex can follow the link. Until aluvia proxy-on runs on that machine, the country those requests come from is still the VM.

The command

npx aluvia-cli setup
aluvia geos
aluvia proxy-on --geo US

Replace US with the country the page should serve. Country only, not city. Sticky sessions last up to 30 minutes.

Run npx aluvia-cli setup on the Codex cloud machine, then aluvia proxy-on --geo US. Aluvia sends the browser through a residential or mobile IP there. aluvia geos lists countries. Omit --geo for the global pool.

What this does not do

Aluvia does not change OpenAI's model availability. It does not write GPS, timezone, or Accept-Language, will not play a stream, and will not pass a login wall. Country only, not city.
