Some overseas Douyin merchants found that their Tiktok accounts could not be registered, and their Tiktok accounts were blocked shortly after registration. They speculated that it might be because the network environment or device was marked, or the account was checked for duplicates, etc. Today we will popularize the IP issues related to TikTok account operations.
01
Most IPs are logged
- Why was TikTok blocked shortly after I changed my network or device?
It is possible that the IP address of the network service you are using is already on TikTok's "blacklist". In fact, the cost of accessing a professional commercial-grade IP risk control database is not high. Generally, large-scale Internet companies use such databases to identify the access behavior of high-risk IP users. These databases are continuously updated in real time, and TikTok is no exception.
- The IP type can be used to infer your normality
Even if an IP does not record any high-risk behavior, its type is enough to attract the attention of the platform. Many people purchase the "network access that breaks through geographical restrictions" service, and the vast majority of their exit IPs are data center IPs. Different from the residential network IPs used by normal users, data center IPs are widely used for complex purposes such as proxies, crawlers, spam sending, and even DDoS attacks. These IP segments are likely to have a history of abuse, so using such IPs to access TikTok is more likely to attract attention.
- How to determine the type of IP?
① Residential network: This is the broadband network used by our homes, such as China Telecom, China Unicom, and China Mobile, which belongs to the residential network type. The IP provided by this type of proxy is provided by the Internet Service Provider (ISP). Generally speaking, this type of IP has higher authenticity because they are rarely marked as commercial IP segments, so they are less likely to be blocked by the target website. However, due to the limitation of civilian bandwidth, the proxy service provided by this type of IP may be slower.
② Data Center Network (Data Center): A data center is a computer room server purchased by a service provider, and provides IP and port network services for customers to use. This type of IP belongs to the Internet Data Center (IDC). Compared with residential network proxies, data center IPs are faster, more stable, and cheaper. However, due to their more commercial nature (such as for crawlers, spam sending, network attacks, etc.), the possibility of being blocked is higher. Some data center IPs are also used as proxy services to break through network access restrictions in certain geographical locations.
We can use the IP query function of http://ipip.net (requires registered users) to determine whether our IP address belongs to the data center or the residential network.

Impact of IP and account association
- The IP infection problem everyone is talking about
It may be because the IP itself has been recorded in the "blacklist" database, or the account associated with the IP has been marked as an object of concern by the TikTok platform. Every IP with a "black history" with a TikTok account will be marked, and accounts sharing the IP will be affected. This data may also be shared with other IP risk control databases.
- Expensive is not necessarily good, don't buy blindly
Some friends spend a lot of money to buy various network solutions, but they can't solve the problem effectively. Before choosing, we must first figure out some things. What do you need for network service solutions? Is it a larger bandwidth? Or a faster line? Or a larger flow? Be sure to clarify your goals before spending money! For TikTok account operations, performance improvements unrelated to these are not necessary. All we need is a fast enough video refresh speed and the most important account security. Therefore, we should spend money on the aspects that we care about most, rather than blindly improving performance that is useless for TikTok account operations.
Expensive clean dedicated IP servers may work well, but the price is relatively high. We must test them multiple times before purchasing an IP proxy to prevent others from selling inferior products as good ones.
03
How to choose the right IP solution
- What to do if DNS and IP addresses are inconsistent?
We can query DNS information through http://Whoer.net. What is DNS? Simply put, when you access a domain name, you need DNS to help resolve the real IP address of the server mapped to the domain name. This is the role of DNS. As an important part of camouflage, DNS is also a problem that bothers everyone, because the IP can be selected, but it is difficult to change the DNS resolution address through conventional means. In this case, you generally need to directly change different lines or applications.
Normal users rarely have huge differences in DNS and IP geographical locations (not in the same country), so it is reasonable to combine DNS and IP as part of the camouflage assessment.
- Do live streaming and short videos have the same IP requirements?
TikTok live streaming has higher requirements for IP than short video operations, mainly in terms of network speed and stability, especially for C-end users. They usually prefer to choose exclusive IP. The so-called exclusive IP means that after you obtain the IP, the IP will only be provided to you for use for a period of time, and will not be allocated to others. This ensures the stability of the IP and also ensures the bandwidth, which will not be interfered with by 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.
- Can I build my own network solution?
Of course you can, but it is not recommended. In addition to compliance issues, you need to solve many other problems. First, you need to understand how to deploy and build this technology; second, you must find a stable and reliable residential IP and channel; finally, you need to pay a considerable amount of operation and maintenance costs to ensure the smooth flow of the network. The overall cost may reach tens of thousands of yuan per month, which is a high threshold for ordinary users. Of course, it is another matter for technical experts and wealthy people.
To sum up, the ideal TikTok operating IP should meet the following requirements: ① It should be clean enough and used by as few people as possible; ② It is best to use a residential IP, which is closer to real users, and a data center IP is the second choice; ③ The stability and speed are sufficient for watching videos, and you don’t want to waste money on other things; ④ It should be as simple and affordable as possible.
