isn’t it really that simple? just set your location to out of the states, and use tiktok… i could be wrong but in theory it doesn’t sound to hard to get around the stupid tiktok ban.
I’ve used a VPN to access tiktok while in countries that have banned it, and it worked fine. No new account, intl number, etc needed.
edit: doesn’t matter now since it’s back online, but yeah VPNs didn’t work with this ban. The block must’ve been based on something other the IP address. I’ve used it with a VPN in Uzbekistan and India, but those bans must just be by IP address.
So…get Tor, activate a German VPN, then sign in through tiktok.com? Got it. 
when the world needed hackers the most they vanished
From my understanding the app is not only going to be take off the app stores, but the company also stated that they would cease all operations in the U.S. I imagine that means any accounts created in the U.S would be unable to access the app. I don’t know how that would work for the videos said accounts created though.
Will I be able to access my account via vpn or do I have to start a new one? Because the US servers have US data soo?
Unfortunately not everyone is going to go through the trouble of using a VPN and having to sideload the app which sadly means TikTok will never be the same again. While I follow a lot of international creators, majority of the viral content is US-based. That content will cease to exist based on what the TT lawyers are saying they will do by shutting down all US operations. Even if we’re able to get into it, your algorithm and what makes TT special for most of us will be gone. US creators will go to other sites because they either don’t want to go through the hassle or would be concerned about the legal implications for their businesses if they continue to use an illegal app. Any creators making decent $$ from TT likely have at least an LLC because of taxes and such. Plus the creator fund would be gone and they will go to places like YouTube where they can monetize their content.
Not a single vpn server on any app outside of the USA is working for me at all it just connects and disconnects
TikTok would work without vpn as all the government is doing is removing it from play and apple stores. However TikTok themselves are threatening to geo block so it won’t be available even with vpn. UK and Germany geo block each other so neither even with vpn can watch live music events. So petty.
So we’re VPNing to Canada eh?
l just tried using a vpn and it didnt work
For anyone wondering, it does work, just not using the app. You can go to the desktop site while using a VPN in another country and you can still sign into your account and use it as normal
I’ve been wondering if this is a viable solution as well
Yes, a VPN will allow you to bypass the ban. It might be harder to get updates depending on which apk sites enforce the ban and which don’t.
But use will be completely fine. I’m seeing people saying you need an international sim card or phone number which is completely false. Not sure if they’re just not tech savvy or they’re intentionally spreading misinformation.
Tiktok requires an email and an internet connection. That’s it. You’ll need a VPN and nothing else.
What if I have an extra phone to use specifically for tiktok? I kept my iphone 11pro as a backup when I upgraded to a 15pro. Could I factory reset it w a new apple ID and set the location to somewhere else along with using a VPN?
VPN and you’ll have to make a new account
While I do like tiktok, and haven’t posted a video in months among my 3 accounts I’m not gonna go through the trouble of getting a VPN to bypass anything.
What if we save our data from our current account, use a vpn set to Canada, and create a new account? I really think that will work
the only thing i’m worried about is capcut 
so i came to see if i can use a VPN to edit on there because im so fluent in it i don’t want to use another editing app that doesn’t compare ugh
I have a VPN, it’s almost 10pm CST on Jan 18, so far even my vpn isn’t working
