OpenRouter

Translated from Chinese by an LLM.

OpenRouter Registration

I won’t cover this - isn’t it something even a three-year-old can do?

Using a QQ email address is not recommended (not sure, haven’t tried).

Configuring Billing and Address

• Generate an address Go to a site like US Address Gen to generate a random address.

• Fill in Billing If you haven’t filled it in yet, enter the address during registration.

  If you have already filled in Billing, do the following:

  1. Go to Credits and open “History”.
  2. On the billing.stripe.com page that pops up, select “Update information”.
  3. Fill in the address from Generate an address.
  4. Return to openrouter.ai.

Note: If the address is a Chinese address (including Hong Kong, Taiwan), you will see:

“Your billing address is in a region that does not have access to models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. All other models remain available.”

Claude Code Configuration

cc-switch is recommended.

env Configuration

For some reason Claude Code doesn’t go through the Clash proxy - you need to add the proxy manually.

Here using cc-switch as an example:

1. Open the OpenRouter configuration details page.
2. In the Configuration JSON, under env, add "HTTPS_PROXY": "http://127.0.0.1:7890". The value of "HTTPS_PROXY": "http://127.0.0.1:7890" varies by person - anyway, that’s how my cat is set up.

Be sure to test your proxy node on IP Pure - low purity means high risk.
