You may be living under a rock if you don’t know about the latest ban. Indian Government banned Tiktok and 59 other apps of Chinese origin on Monday. After the announcement, internet service providers including Vodafone and Airtel started blocking access to such apps within the country. This means that even if you had the app installed, you won’t be able to use it. A question arose from this, why TikTok not working with VPN? So, let’s know everything about it.
TikTok Not Working With VPN
Virtual Private Networks, or VPNs, have restricted the service to reach TikTok in India. People have been tweeting by stating that VPN services- ExpressVPN and NordVPN don’t work to bypass access to the app. In other words, a VPN masks your IP address and fools the internet into thinking you are browsing their websites from another country. This way, users will have access to region-restricted websites in a safe and secure manner.
Some of the users have reported that they cannot access the app using a VPN, whereas others claim that they are facing no issues in using the app. We tried accessing TikTok from a secure VPN but no results. However, we were able to access the Social Media platform through a web browser on our laptop using a VPN for TikTok.
Rumors rife that Tiktok has been blocked by the device IP address and device ID. This indicates that the app won’t work if your device had registered with Tiktok formerly, even if you mask your IP address. A way or a loophole for this would be to install the TikTok app using a VPN. This could be done after resetting or rebooting your device or getting a brand-new one, as claimed by some people.
We will definitely give you an update on the same if we find something. Till then, let us know what you feel about this ban.
