Tiktok is a popular social media platform that has become the most searched term worldwide surpassing Google. It’s an application that allows its users to create, watch, discover, and share short videos where the duration ranges from 15 seconds to three minutes. It’s mostly used on mobile devices and its popularity widely stems from its ability to make the users feel comfortable and excitedly engage with others on the platform.

For its users to fully optimize Tiktok, they will have to use a Tiktok proxy especially if they’re marketers or content creators that are looking to make their videos go viral. A Tiktok proxy provides users with benefits that include, but are not limited to: Unblocking Tiktok from countries that have it banned, increasing their privacy and security by hiding their own IP addresses, and allowing the use of Tiktok bots to create multiple tiktok accounts and automate activities without being banned. In addition, using proxies can also facilitate web scraping on TikTok, enabling marketers to gather valuable insights and data for targeted campaigns and content creation.

However, finding reliable proxies can be a challenge. To ensure that you are using a trustworthy proxy, you can search for a free proxy list for TikTok. This list will provide you with a selection of proxies that are specifically tailored for use with TikTok, ensuring that your online activities remain secure and private while you enjoy the benefits of the platform.

Tiktok automation bots allow people using it to watch, like, comment, and follow a specific account at a massive scale, which can increase engagements and traffic for that specific account. Unfortunately, Tiktok has a strict anti-spam policy and bans any account that’s caught doing so. It’s the reason why excellent Tiktok proxies are needed if you don’t want to get flagged and banned.

The best Tiktok proxy would be a residential proxy. Residential proxies are linked to actual locations because it uses real residential IP addresses from actual people. This effectively minimizes the chances of you getting banned. You can also use datacenter proxies which are faster but less reliable compared to residential proxies. You can get away with this because Tiktok isn’t as strict with its anti-spam policy compared to other social network sites but there’s still a chance for a Tiktok ban to happen.

Let’s set up a Tiktok proxy server.

How To Use Proxies With Tiktok

For Windows:

To set up proxies in Windows, simply search for “Proxy Settings” in your windows search bar and open the search result.

You are then given two options to choose from: Automatic proxy setup or Manual proxy setup. If you want windows to automatically detect your proxy settings, choose the first option. Choose the second option if you want to utilize a specific ip address and port number.

If you chose the first option, then:

  1. Turn on Automatically detect Settings
  2. Turn on Use setup script
  3. Enter the script address
  4. Click Save

If you chose the second option, then:

  1. Turn on Use a proxy server
  2. Input both server address and port number
  3. If you have any addresses you would like to visit without a proxy, enter them here
  4. Turn on Don’t use the proxy server for local addresses check box if you want to access a local server without a proxy
  5. Click Save

This should then redirect you to MacOS proxy settings. MacOS is more straightforward compared to windows. You only have one option which is to manually configure your proxy server.

Here are the steps to follow:

  1. Select which proxy IP protocol you want to configure. This depends on which protocols your proxy service provider offers.
  2. Turn on Secure Web Proxy
  3. Input the Proxy Server Address and Port Number
  4. Click OK to save the configurations

Note: You may be prompted for your Mac user password to save your settings.

For Mobile:

To configure Tiktok mobile proxies, simply change your phone’s proxy settings . Tiktok’s proxy settings are copied from your phone’s proxy settings whenever you use it. This is applicable for both Android and IOS.Here’s a thorough guide for Android and another one for iPhone.

Congratulations! You have now set up a Tiktok proxy server. Note that the first time you visit it, there will be a pop up asking for your login credentials.

Note: Make sure that the web browser you’re using for Tiktok is automatically copying your system’s proxy settings. It’s recommended to use Google Chrome because it automatically does this.
