How does a VPN work for TikTok?

Have you ever tried to use TikTok on your office or campus Wi-Fi network, only to find it blocked?

Many workplaces and schools block TikTok and other social media sites for security reasons, in an effort to eliminate distractions, or because of content they don’t find appropriate.

That’s where a VPN can help. A VPN for TikTok lets you get around these types of private network blocks. It encrypts your internet traffic and reroutes it through a secure private network, so the local Wi-Fi network can’t see what you’re doing online. If it can’t see your activity, it can’t block you.

VPN encryption comes with other important benefits. When you’re connected to a VPN server, your data is protected from third parties who might be trying to snoop on you. Even if you’re using an unsecured public Wi-Fi network, like at a hotel or at a cafe, a VPN keeps you safe online.

Should I use a free VPN to access TikTok?

While you can try using a free VPN with TikTok, you might run into some difficulties. Many free VPN networks are overcrowded, which can cause slow speeds, laggy videos, and long load times. You may also have to put up with low data caps, so you won’t be able to watch many videos before you get cut off.

ExpressVPN gives you unlimited bandwidth and lightning-fast connections to servers in 105 countries, so you can keep up with your favorite creators (or your followers) all the time. Try it risk-free with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
