TikTok Ban Shuts Down App—Does A VPN Bring It Back?
In a shocking move, TikTok has gone dark in the US, leaving millions of users wondering what to do next. As the app shut down, speculation ran rampant on whether using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) could bypass the ban and restore access to the popular social media platform.
However, according to Zak Doffman’s insightful article, the answer is an unequivocal no. A VPN won’t help users skirt the ban, as it can only mask internet traffic from the US to TikTok, not bring back the app itself. This leaves millions of users crossing their fingers and waiting for news on whether the new administration will restore access.
The article goes on to caution users against clicking links or installing apps that claim to work around the ban, warning that these may be dangerous scams.
