I just got the tiktok banned msg on my tiktok. I opened mullvad and set it to Germany, still getting the banned msg.
They disabled all US accounts server-side. VPN won’t do you any good - allegedly, the browser version works with VPN but you cannot create or use existing accounts from the US.
As far as I’m aware, you’ll have to change your app store to a different country.
Why is TikTok so essential to you? I’d get sick of the algorithm on any social media nowadays. X and Facebook should get banned as well.
No chance. The ship has sailed 
You might need to take out your SIM because I know tiktok detects if you have a chinese sim to prevent the app from working in the mainland even with a VPN so they might be using the same method for the US. Canadian though so I can’t test it myself but I’d be curious to know if this is the case.
I gave it a few tries installing from apk with VPN set to Ukraine and language set to German. No luck. Says it’s banned in US every time.
This is the fix i used
FOUND THE REDDIT POST WITH THE FIX: (SHARE AROUND) (it worked for me as well so im sharing it for yall, and yes vpn did not work for me)
"Some VPNs or well all that i tried were banned, So, I decided to go with an ISP proxy ($4), which is essentially a rented, dedicated IP with no other users and no logs kept. After setting it up, I just connected to it and used TikTok without issues.
NOTE: USE A FRESH TIKTOK ACCOUNT MADE WHILE USING THE PROXY
I purchased the ISP proxy from https://alertproxies.com/, and there are plenty of tutorial videos available to help with the setup. It’s an easy process and completely legal."
on ios create a new apple id under the desired region (with vpn matching) and download. create a new account via email. wasn’t working at first but as soon as i turned airplane mode on+enabled wifi it went through.
I’m using wg server in Düsseldorf. Tiktok is running.
Log out. Clear cache and data, reboot. Make sure your location is off. Set the server you want. Login again. Other apps work this way so maybe this too. I’m not a tik tok guy so can’t try myself.

Connect your VPN to Canada and turn off the location service for Tiktok app, maybe it will work?
Personally, it’s not essential. Apps come and go. But the way this occurred and the kind of precedence it sets for the future is concerning.
ahhh yes because more censorship=good🤦♂️
That’s none of your business what people do. “The right to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and EFFECTS (this is electronics and apps), against unreasonable searches and seizures.”
The point is this government fears informed citizens. They fear true free speech.
That’s why they’re dividing and conquering using the orange puppet to instill hatred and division.
Machiavellian tactics: Fear ensures control and loyalty, as people are less likely to rebel against someone they fear.
It’s because your TikTok account was set to Germany when you created your account. The TikTok ban popup was enacted on all US accounts. So you could have created your account with it set to USA, and moved to Germany or England and it would still show that US ban popup.
Just tried this and no luck. I really thought a vpn would work for something like this
Connect your VPN to Canada and turn off the location service for Tiktok app
Just tried, did not work.
There is a difference between censoring a neutral medium which has no algorithm and a medium which is controlled by a shady algorithm. Nobody knows what this algorithm does. Only thing it does is to keep you in the bubble and to force you emotionally read and reply to the messages. Good or bad, the algorithm does not care as long as people are posting.
