How to Bypass TikTok Blocking

Whether one prefers to create or watch video content, TikTok perfectly serves both needs. Even though TikTok is advancing with tremendous speed worldwide, some countries intend to restrict access to it or have already done so. Currently, the app is banned in India and has been blocked in the US recently.

If a proxy is set for the platform, it would allow everyone to access it freely without any restrictions. For a deeper understanding of how to unblock TikTok, especially on iOS, Windows and Android devices, follow the steps that will be provided in this article.

Why Use a Proxy for TikTok

Proxy servers will help you substitute your actual IP address and geolocation; therefore, it will be much easier to bypass all the limitations imposed by the government on using TikTok. With a proxy, you don't care whether the ban was set by social networking services on purpose for you or for the citizens of a certain region in general.

Utilizing a proxy for TikTok can prove to be very beneficial since:

• It guarantees unblocked use of TikTok from any location of choice.
• It ensures the safety of personal information.
• It protects users while registering and using multiple accounts.
• It allows the marketing of the pages through special services without any risk.

With the help of a dedicated proxy server, you will be able to manage multiple accounts and set up a different proxy server for each one. In simple terms, such a process will ensure that the pages appear to be run by different real users from different geographic locations.

Why are Proxies More Secure than VPNs for Unblocking TikTok

In terms of security and efficiency, proxies greatly beat other means such as VPNs when TikTok seems to restrict any user’s access to certain content. To begin with, private proxies do not keep track of any of their customers’ activities which is the case with many VPNs. This actually is crucial since there are VPN services that, although encrypt their data, still keep logs that third parties could possibly expose.

Additionally, proxies typically offer faster connection speeds which is essential for streaming and uploading content seamlessly on TikTok. They are also cheaper, especially if you need proxies to push a lot of accounts for your business, whereas VPNs often require higher subscription fees for simultaneous connections. 

Lastly, proxies allow for more precise control over geographical location settings, which is pivotal for accessing TikTok from regions where it may be restricted without the overhead of routing all device traffic through a VPN, thus ensuring better overall performance.
