## What it is
RawChat is a reverse-proxy solution that mirrors the official ChatGPT website, letting users access it without a VPN while keeping the full official experience including GPTs, plugins, and file analysis. It can be self-hosted on any server via nginx reverse proxy configuration, with localized login/registration and shared Plus accounts.

## Use cases
- access ChatGPT without a VPN
- mirror the official ChatGPT site on my own domain
- share ChatGPT Plus accounts with multiple users
- run a commercial ChatGPT mirror site
- use ChatGPT features like GPTs and PDF analysis behind a proxy
- let my website offer ChatGPT access via integration

## When to choose
- you need to access the official ChatGPT web UI from a region where it is blocked
- you want to operate a shared or commercial ChatGPT access site
- you want the exact official ChatGPT experience including new features immediately

## When to avoid
- you need API-based or programmatic access to OpenAI models
- you are uncomfortable with a third-party intermediary seeing your traffic and handling your login
- you require a self-contained chat UI independent of the official site
- account sharing or proxying may violate OpenAI's terms of service in your context
