My EU Codex just did the “impossible”. 🔓✅ Computer Use plugin 🔓✅ Chrome plugin 🔓✅ No VPN needed 🔓✅ Locked & unlocked modes I wonder what else is "impossible"...? My mind = 🤯 Want the setup? #OpenAI #Codex #AI

europe, a third world continent now. crazy.

Yes, it would be great to get the setup. Right now, I’m using VPN.

Wait … EU bans Computer use and Chrome plugins ?????

Yes... Because I'tS "DaNgErOuS"...

Wow… how about on my own personal stack I decide what’s dangerous 🤯

Well, I get that's how you think, but there's actual merit to what the EU thinks. Computer Use could actually get hacked and you could get part of a bot net. But chances are getting increasingly slim with advances in general intelligence of the models 🙃

@btibor91 what do you think, guys? Pretty cool, no? :P

all you need to do is patch the binary its not that difficult

how

I'd like to know the setup :)

Seems like this won't be needed anymore for now 🙌🤩 Enjoy, everyone!!

Wondered if computer use could use itself lol

Even on the latest version?

It's build 3390. If there was an update, I wouldn't know rn.

Yeah right that one, now it requires always on VPN and the patches available do not work anymore because the app checks every few minutes. Very curious how you did, needless to say i am sure a lot of people would be interested i the set up

Works even on the newest version now 👀 I wanna wait until something big happens, so we can use the workaround for longer if we don't update after that. 😏

@sama @thsottiaux please fix this security gap 😝

So, in the end, are you going to be able to explain how you did it or not? Thanks.

Still waiting for a few more days until we either get 5.6 or a major new feature like real-time voice. And yes, I will explain it and will make the instructions available for everyone.

⚠️ UPDATE: I’ve decided to wait for the next model upgrade before sharing the workaround. If everything still works as expected, I’ll likely post it by the end of the week.

⚠️ UPDATE 2: Sounds like GPT-5.6 will land tomorrow. Either I'll release the workaround then or after the next big feature launch 👀
