TikTok No Network or Banned? Here’s How to Fix

Many people run into issues when signing up for TikTok, such as “Unable to connect”, “No network connection”, or even getting banned right after creating a new account. These problems aren’t because your phone is broken, but rather because your network environment and device settings don’t meet TikTok’s risk control requirements. Below, we’ll break down the solutions step by step—from environment setup to download and registration.

Set up your environment first, then start registering

Phone settings adjustment:

• Remove domestic SIM cards to avoid being flagged as local traffic; use a SIM-free or overseas SIM device.
• Change the phone language and time zone to the target market (e.g., US account → English + New York time zone), and turn off GPS location.
• Uninstall Douyin (the Chinese version) and clear the cache to prevent account linkage.

Network Environment Setup:

• Use compliant tools to connect via residential IPs in the target country (US, Southeast Asia, etc.), ensuring the IP is stable and clean.
• Enable airplane mode and connect only through WiFi to avoid carrier information leakage.
• For registration, it’s recommended to use static residential IPs (ISP). Reserve rotating residential proxies for scraping or bulk operations.

As long as your device environment + network route stay consistent, you’ll naturally avoid most of the “unable to connect” issues.

The Right Way to Download TikTok

For Android devices:

• Install the Google Play Services framework (available via tools such as “GO Google Installer”).
• Download TikTok from Google Play; if the store is inaccessible, use third-party platforms such as APKPure to download the official APK.

For iOS devices:

• Switch your Apple ID to an overseas region (e.g. US ID), then go to the App Store and download TikTok.
• If you can’t switch Apple ID, open TikTok’s official site in Safari and install via TestFlight or add a web shortcut.

Key details When Registering an Account

Registration methods:

• Email (recommended): Use Gmail, Outlook, or other overseas emails. Avoid QQ/163.
• Third-party login: Google, Facebook, Twitter — make sure region and IP match.
• Phone number: Requires an overseas number (e.g. Google Voice), ensure you can receive verification codes.

Filling in basic info:

• Date of birth must be 18+, otherwise features will be restricted.
• Password must include uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols (e.g. TikTok@2025).
• Username should look natural and fit the target market. For a US account, examples like @fashion_lover_US work well.

Verification & activation:

• Enter the email/phone verification code; sometimes image verification is required.
• If you see “Too many attempts”, wait 24 hours or reset via “Forgot password”.

Tips to Avoid Instant Bans on New Accounts

After successful registration, don’t immediately change profile picture, mass-follow, or switch devices frequently. Instead, browse recommended videos, like, and follow moderately so the system treats you as a normal user. Static residential IPs have a clear advantage at this stage, as they provide a stable environment and lower the risk score.

Still Seeing “Unable to Connect”? What to Do

If, after completing all the previous steps, TikTok still shows “Unable to connect” or “No network connection”, you can try:

• Check DNS and WebRTC to ensure your real location isn’t leaked.
• Switch to a static residential IP in the same city and ISP to avoid cross-region issues.
• Keep the same IP for 24 hours before logging in again to see if it works.
• Abandon nodes that failed multiple times to avoid “flag contamination.”

Choosing a Stable Environment for Long-Term Accounts

If your goal is long-term account operation, a reliable network environment is crucial. Static Residential IPs are best for account registration and nurturing. ISP Proxies offer better speed and stability. Rotating Residential Proxies provide flexibility for data collection and large-scale account management.

Combining these three types strategically not only solves the “unable to connect during registration” issue but also prevents accounts from frequently going offline or being banned due to risk control.

kookeey’s static residential proxies use real household IPs from global ISPs, making your device appear as if it’s physically in the US, UK, Japan, etc. Rotating residential proxies automatically switch IPs at intervals, ideal for bulk operations and avoiding risk flags.

Most TikTok registration failures are caused by “unclean environment” or improper behavior, Such as unstable IPs or network issues leading to “unable to connect.” By correctly configuring your phone and pairing it with stable residential IPs, you can successfully register and maintain your account for long-term operation.
