When operating a TikTok account, you must avoid the IP issue

This article is a popular science post, which aims to help everyone solve problems and make everyone a piece of steel and concrete instead of a green leek.
PS Rich people with great technical skills please ignore this article. ———————————Recently some friends have been complaining to us about their accounts, whether it is a network problem, whether the device has been marked, whether it has been checked for duplicate content, etc…

Of course, there are many problems, but don't be discouraged. The British shop is open now, I believe there will always be opportunities, and we will solve the problems one by one.
In this issue, let’s first talk about the high-frequency word IP.

1. Most IPs are stored in the database (about the IP risk control database)
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 on the "blacklist".
In fact, the cost of accessing a professional commercial-grade IP risk control database is not high at all. Generally, Internet companies of a certain scale will access a professional IP risk control database to identify access by high-risk IP users.
And such databases are kept updated in real time, and TikTok is no exception.
2. You may be "abnormal" from the IP type
Using an IP, even if this IP does not leave any high-risk records, its type is enough to attract the platform's "attention".
Most of the exit IPs of the "breakthrough network access geographical restrictions" service purchased by everyone are data center IPs. This type of IP is quite different from the IP used by "normal" users, who generally use residential networks.
The proxy service in the data center is highly efficient, stable and inexpensive, 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. Are you a human or a robot? This is the question.
2. Is the IP poisoned? Don’t ignore the impact of the association between IP and account
1. The so-called IP infection problem <br>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 all accounts sharing this IP will be affected. This data may even be shared by other IP risk control databases.
Therefore, try not to use public IP proxy services, use exclusive types as much as possible, and try not to use multiple accounts under the same IP address to avoid being associated.
2. Don’t buy blindly. Expensive things 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 are your requirements for network service solutions?

• Is it more bandwidth?
• Or a faster route?
• Or a larger flow?

Be sure to clearly define your purpose before spending money!
Unlike using this kind of network to browse Instagram, watch Netflix, play Apex, and download huge files, I don’t think the above are necessary when it comes to operating TikTok.
All we need is a speed fast enough to swipe out TikTok videos, and most importantly, to ensure the security of our 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.

3. How to distinguish the type of IP?
1. Residential
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 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 simply, a service provider buys some servers in a computer room, opens IPs and ports on them, and provides them to customers. The IPs provided by this type of service belong to IDC (Internet Data Center).
They come from second-tier companies such as data centers, not civilian network operators.
Compared with residential proxies, they are faster, more stable, and cheaper, but they are more likely to be blocked due to their more frequent and complex commercial nature (such as crawlers, spam, network attacks, etc.). Some are also used as proxy services to break through network access restrictions in certain geographical locations.
Most of them, I am embarrassed to say 100%, but except for the one mentioned below, I have hardly seen any service providers that provide easy-to-use residential IPs that do not require deployment. Most of these network proxy service providers provide data center IPs. It may also be that the demand for account operation security is slightly niche.

3. Can I build my own proprietary network solution? – Of course you can, but it is not recommended .
Leaving aside compliance issues, there are a lot of issues you need to address here.
First, you need to understand the deployment and construction technology; second, you must be able to find stable and reliable residential IP and channels; then you have to pay a considerable operation and maintenance cost to ensure the smooth operation of this network; the comprehensive cost is less than 10,000 yuan per month, and such a threshold is not suitable for ordinary players.
Of course, technical experts and wealthy people are welcome to do as they please.
Having said so much, let's summarize what we want:

1. A sufficiently clean IP, the fewer people who have used it, the better;
2. It is better to use a residential IP that is closer to a real person, rather than a data center IP;
3. The stability and speed are enough for video playback, and I don’t want to waste money on other aspects.
4. Make it as simple and affordable as possible to use.
