Using AI in Iran Without a VPN — The Complete 2026 Guide

Reaching tools like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini from Iran runs into two big walls: filtering and payment sanctions. This guide shows how to use AI without a VPN and without an international card.

Why a VPN is a headache

• Unstable connections and frequent drops
• Slowness, and answers cut off midway
• The security risk of free VPNs

The fix: a local gateway

Platforms like Parto act as a safe gateway: you connect to Parto over your normal internet, and Parto brings you the models' answers. Payment is in Toman, too.

What sets Parto apart

1. Council mode: asks several models at once and compares them.
2. Domestic continuity: text chat keeps working even during international outages.
3. Ahura transparency: the cost of every answer is clear.

Bottom line: for a user in Iran, a clean, transparent local platform is the best option.
