Recently, some friends have been complaining to us that their accounts have had problems again. Is it a problem with the network environment, is the device marked, is it checked for duplication, etc. Today we will first talk about the high-frequency word IP and popularize the IP issues of TikTok account operations.
01
Most of the IPs have been stored.
1. Why was TikTok blocked even before I started using it after I changed the network and flashed my device?
It is possible that the IP address of the network service you are using is already on the "blacklist". In fact, it is not expensive to access a professional commercial-grade IP risk control database. Generally, Internet companies of a certain size will access a professional IP risk control database to identify access by high-risk IP users. And such databases are always updated in real time, and TikTok is no exception.
2. You may be “abnormal” from your IP type
Even if an IP does not leave any high-risk records, its type is enough to attract the platform's "attention". The "breakthrough network access regional restrictions" service purchased by everyone has an exit IP of the data center IP. This type of IP is quite different from the IP used by "normal" users, who generally use residential networks.
The proxy service of the data center is efficient, stable and cheap, so it is widely used and has complex purposes (as a proxy, crawler, spam email, and even DDOS attack). This type of IP segment is very likely to have a history of abuse, and it is easier to be "followed" by accessing TikTok through this type of IP.
3. How to identify the type of IP?
①Residential: Simply put, the broadband we use at home, such as China Telecom, China Unicom, and China Mobile, belongs to this type of network. The IP provided by this type of proxy belongs to the ISP (Internet Service Provider). When we access the Internet, our IP address belongs to this category. Generally speaking, this type of IP has a higher real person rate. Because the probability of being marked as a commercial IP segment is low, the probability of being blocked by the target website is also very small. Of course, due to the limitation of civilian bandwidth, the proxy service provided by this type of IP also makes it slower to access the Internet.
② Data Center What is a data center? To put it bluntly, service providers buy some servers in computer rooms, set up IPs and ports on them, and give them to customers. The IPs provided by this type of service belong to IDC (Internet Data Center). They come from secondary companies such as data centers, not civilian network operators. Compared with residential proxies, they are faster, more stable, and cheaper, but because of their more frequent and complex commercial nature (such as crawlers, spamming, network attacks, etc.), they are more likely to be blocked. Some are also used as proxy services to break through network access restrictions in certain geographical locations.
We can use the IP query function of https://ipinfo.io/ to check whether our IP address belongs to a data center or a residence.

Impact of IP and account association
1. The IP infection problem that everyone talks about
The first possibility is that the IP itself has been registered in the "blacklist" of the database, and the other possibility is that the account associated with the IP has been marked as "followed" by the TikTok platform. Every IP that leaves a "black history" on a TikTok account will be marked, and accounts sharing this IP will be affected, and this part of the data may even be shared by other IP risk control databases.
2. Don’t buy blindly. Expensive products are not necessarily good.
Some friends spend a lot of money to buy various network solutions, but still can't effectively solve the problem. Here we must first clarify some things. What do you want from a network service plan? Is it a larger bandwidth? Or a faster line? Or a larger flow? Be sure to clarify the purpose before spending money! Different from using this kind of network to browse Instagram, watch Netflix online dramas, play Apex international servers, and download large files. I think none of the above is necessary when it comes to operating TikTok. All we need is enough speed to swipe out TikTok videos, and most importantly, to ensure the security of account assets. Therefore, money should be spent on what we care about most, rather than blindly improving performance that is useless for TikTok account operations.
A high-priced clean independent IP server will naturally have good effects, but the price is also very expensive. We must test the effects more before purchasing an IP proxy to prevent others from selling inferior products as good ones.

How to choose the right IP solution
1. What should I do if the DNS and IP address locations are inconsistent?
We can query DNS through https://ipinfo.io/. What does DNS mean? In short, when you access a domain name, you need DNS to help you resolve the real IP address of the server mapped to the domain name. This is the role of DNS. As an important part of the so-called camouflage, DNS is also a problem that everyone is troubled by, because the IP can still be selected, but the DNS resolution address is difficult to change by general means. When encountering this problem, it is generally necessary to directly change different lines or apps.
For a normal user, it is very rare that the DNS and IP geographical locations are very different (not in the same country), so it is reasonable to combine DNS and IP as assessment items for camouflage degree.
2. Do live streaming and short videos have the same IP requirements?
TikTok live streaming has higher requirements for IP than short video operations, which is mainly reflected in the two aspects of network speed and stability. In particular, the live streaming of C-end users is very demanding and usually prefers to choose exclusive IP. The so-called exclusive IP means that after you obtain the IP, this IP will only be provided to you for use during this period of time and will not be allocated to others. This ensures the stability of the IP and ensures the bandwidth without interference from other users.
Most of the foreign trade people on the B-side do not have such high requirements. A stable and fast shared IP can meet the live broadcast needs of small and medium-sized enterprises on the B-side.
3. Can I build my own proprietary network solution?
Of course you can, but it is not recommended. Apart from the compliance issues, you need to solve many problems here. First, you need to understand the deployment and construction technology; second, you must be able to find a stable and reliable residential IP and channel; then you have to pay a lot of operation and maintenance costs to ensure the smooth operation of this network; the comprehensive cost is less than 10,000 yuan per month, which is not suitable for ordinary players. Of course, technical experts and local tycoons are welcome to do as they please.
Having said so much, let me summarize what the ideal TikTok operating IP should be: ① A clean enough IP, the fewer people have used it, the better; ② Residential IP is better, closer to real people, and data center IP is the second choice; ③ The stability and speed should be enough to watch videos, and you don’t want to waste money on other aspects; ④ Make it as simple and affordable as possible to use.
