Hello everyone! Today, let's discuss a common issue that many TikTok users might encounter: why using a VPN network can easily lead to account throttling. First, we need to understand what a VPN is. In simple terms, a VPN allows us to establish a virtual private network over the internet. However, there's a significant issue here, which is the IP address. Most VPNs share the same IP address among multiple users, similar to many people crowding in a single room. For the TikTok platform, which aims to provide a better user experience, it conducts strict checks on accounts. Once it detects that multiple accounts are using the same VPN exit IP, it will deem these accounts as "associated accounts." Considering that the platform certainly doesn't favor this situation, it will likely impose throttling on these accounts. Moreover, VPN IP addresses often change frequently, which, in TikTok's eyes, makes your account behavior seem erratic, and throttling will naturally follow. Another issue is network stability. Using a VPN is like driving on a crowded path where everyone shares the limited bandwidth. During peak hours, this path becomes particularly congested. When your VPN server is overloaded, activities such as live streaming or uploading videos on TikTok can result in frozen screens or even disconnections. Poor user experience will lead the platform to take measures against such accounts to ensure overall quality, hence implementing throttling. There are also security risks. Some free VPNs are not necessarily a "free lunch"; they may secretly record your data or even implant malicious code. Even some low-end paid VPNs may have their servers compromised due to poor configuration. Once the VPN service provider is attacked or data is leaked, your privacy is exposed. To protect the security of all users, the TikTok platform will certainly take measures such as throttling or other actions against accounts using such VPNs. Lastly, and most importantly, the TikTok platform
