Unclear It is not clear whether claude assistant can now be combined with those options or no longer goes through this check.
When the server reports that your network or region is blocking the connection, Claude Code now shows a blocked status with the hint 'network or region blocked - check VPN or network'. A VPN is a service that routes your internet traffic through another location.
Some options cannot be combined with a remote backend, meaning a session that runs somewhere other than your computer. If you try, an error tells you to pick one. That error no longer lists claude assistant. It now lists only these:
- a cc:// connect URL
claude ssh--teleport
If you are blocked because of your network or region, the message now points you at the likely cause, such as a VPN or network setting. The shorter error suggests claude assistant is no longer treated as a remote backend for this check.
