VPNs encrypt data and reroute everything through the connected region. Many utilise their own DNS servers that essentially translate websites to an IP address (I'm no expert, don't know specifics).
But basically, VPNs can get around ISP bans. It not, they wouldn't be the go-to solution they are for accessing websites blocked in certain regions. While using a VPN your ISP shouldn't even have any way of identifying and blocking what you're accessing - all they know is that you're online.
Okay it still doesn’t let TikTok show in the US like Jesus Christ I don’t care. I know imma get downvoted but I was just telling the person you still can’t use it. I didn’t need a breakdown of VPNs like you all are giving me. None of this matters when it comes to a person asking if a VPN is able to still be used. The answer is still no.
Okay. You're aware you commented on a public forum with some input on something though? If it's wrong or incomplete info in your comment you're probably gonna get responses.
Also they should work - if you use a new device with new accounts set up using VPN then you'll probably still be able to access TikTok from in the US.
