1.Abstract
Many people who purchased overseas VPS servers found they couldn't access TikTok. This is because TikTok's operation is highly specialized, requiring nodes with dedicated IP addresses and a complex network environment.
Reports indicate that since September 2025, TikTok has implemented comprehensive and strict IP control, rendering even ordinary IP ranges inaccessible. Therefore, to access TikTok normally, a high-quality, clean IP address is required.
2. Obtaining Nodes
Buy node
The only advantage is that you don't need to set up your own nodes; you can use them directly after purchasing. However, the disadvantages are also obvious: the purchased node IPs might be of questionable quality, preventing you from accessing TikTok. Therefore, if you need to purchase nodes, you need to clarify the IP quality and whether it's compatible with TikTok.
Purchase a VPS to set up nodes
This allows you to directly purchase high-quality service providers and clean, high-quality IPs, but you need to have basic knowledge and be able to set up your own nodes. (I will release a separate article later to teach you how to set up nodes.)
3. Why TikTok needs good IP (Intellectual Property)
This is actually an internal algorithm issue within TikTok. They ignore low-quality or flagged IPs, and once identified, these IPs cannot access TikTok. However, good home broadband is extremely expensive. Therefore, we only need to find a good overseas server provider and purchase their VPS to ensure IP quality and access TikTok. Below, I will recommend these servers.
4. Recommended overseas VPS providers
VMRack
VMRack is an overseas VPS provider with a data center in Los Angeles. The IP quality is high; this blogger personally tested it and confirmed direct access to TikTok. Changing the IP only costs $1 per session. Using a VMRack VPS to set up a node resulted in smooth video streaming and stable playback. The lowest-priced VPS is only $3.66, payable monthly or yearly, making it a great option for TikTok users.
BandwagonHost
Bandwagon Host's Fremont data center has always been of high quality; it's a well-established brand, and the quality is unquestionable. I've seen many people use it to build nodes for TikTok, resulting in excellent view counts and high stability—no longer experiencing "0 views."
Lisa Host
Lisa Hosting's dual-ISP residential IP VPS is particularly well-suited for TikTok due to its stable network. Currently, the residential IP is only $60/month, offering excellent value. It realistically simulates a US residential broadband network environment with a clean IP address.
5. Conclusion
Choosing the right VPS for your needs is paramount; a high-quality, reputable provider is more important than anything else. The overseas VPS providers I recommend each have their own advantages for using TikTok. Setting up nodes also requires learning. Ultimately, choosing the right VPS for your specific needs is the most crucial factor.
