Hello developer community! I’m so excited to begin sharing and exploring this new frontier with everyone else! I’ve been personally developing and tinkering with my own projects for a while now with gpt plus, so I’m excited to become more integrated in this community to see what all we can develop together!
Anyways, I’m unsure if my question has been asked before, but I’m running into a pretty befuddling problem lol. I also want to be very explicit here, I am NOT asking to access OpenAI’s API through a VPN. I fully understand that OpenAI does not seem to condone VPN usage with their API and actively blocks it (which I’m assuming might be in the terms of service somewhere). That is fine and is the right of OpenAI to do so.
The problem is that my development environment is a bit unique, and I’ve never really worked with an API quite like this. I’ve been trying to modify Auto-GPT a little bit, but every time it calls the API it closes the connection. I’ve read that this is likely due to my VPN. Granted, I use OpenVPN merely as my interface and use a vpn file provided by my actual VPN provider. I do a lot of computer networking experiments and whatnot, so I’m able to create my own tunnels when I need them, but I’ve never needed to tunnel an API before.
What am I supposed to do if I’d like to keep my VPN up but I want to allow the API to bypass it? I’m used to tunneling per application or per IP, but if I’m actively developing and running my own code, I don’t actually know how I should do this. Which is a shame, because I’m right on the cusp of something really cool, but I need to find a way to prevent the connection from getting cut. I want to be clear I want to follow all the guidelines that’s out there, so I’m asking to do this so I AM following the proper guidelines and usage here. I’m not trying to make it run inside my VPN, I’m trying to make it an exception away from my VPN. If anyone thinks they could help me, this would be a huge help! Thank you all so much for your time!
Best,
