It is looking increasingly likely that the US might ban TikTok before the month is out, if not the end of this very week. As such, many are opting to use a TikTok VPN to ensure that they can continue to access it. What else are they supposed to do? Scroll through videos on Instagram or YouTube like an absolute fossil? (No disrespect to absolute fossils, Iβm one of you).
If you havenβt read our list of the best gaming VPNs, or simply donβt know how they work, let me explain: A VPN allows you to connect to the internet via a server located elsewhere in the world, in turn giving you to access that regionβs content. So while TikTok could be banned in the US, if you connect through a server in the UK, your phone would be able to access it β itβs almost like youβre actually in the UK itself.
According to Google Trends, the search term βTikTok VPNβ has increased by 1,328% in the US since the start of the month, so itβs clear that Americaβs TikTok community isnβt going to take this ban lying down. Considering the appβs popularity, with gameplay and videogame lore discussions being especially prevalent on there, itβs no surprise that people are reluctant to give it up.
While it is currently unclear whether the ban will actually happen or not, providers like NordVPN give users a 30-day money-back guarantee, allowing for a no-questions-asked refund if theyβre within that initial 30-day period. So if you wanted to grab one today just to be on the safe side, but then in two weeks this whole thing fizzles out, thereβs nothing to stop you from getting a refund. It might be worth keeping it anyway, though, as it offers a wide range of privacy benefits.
