In today’s era of booming short-video content creation and cross-border e-commerce, TikTok, as the world’s leading short-video platform, has become an important base for numerous creators and businesses. However, frequent issues such as account bans, restrictions, and verification requirements have caused many users great distress. Since 2025, TikTok’s risk control system has been upgraded again, triggering a new round of “account ban wave”, and a large number of sellers returned to the pre-liberation state overnight. Behind these problems, there is often a neglected key factor – the quality of IP addresses.

I. The Deep Reasons Behind TikTok’s Frequent Account Bans

The risk control system of TikTok is becoming increasingly sophisticated, and the platform’s ability to identify abnormal behaviors has significantly improved. The main reasons for account suspension and traffic restriction include:
The issue of multiple account logins is the primary concern. If the same IP address is frequently used to switch between different accounts, or if a device logs into multiple accounts, the system will identify it as an abnormal operation. Especially when using data center IP addresses or shared proxies, since these IP segments have been widely reused by a large number of users, they are highly likely to trigger the platform’s risk control mechanism. The new regulations in 2025 are even stricter, and logging into multiple stores with the same IP has become one of the important reasons for account suspension.
Inconsistent geographical locations are also dangerous. When a user’s IP address frequently changes, or when the IP location does not match the phone’s GPS location or registration information, TikTok will consider the account to be at risk of being stolen, and thus will require additional verification or even directly ban the account. What’s more serious is that many users use shared IP networks to save costs. The actions of other violating accounts will directly affect innocent accounts.
Abnormal content publishing behavior is also an important factor. Massive content posting within a short period, frequent likes and comments, canceling followings and other mechanical operations, combined with low-quality IP addresses, can easily be identified as robot behavior. Especially for new accounts, if they post frequently (more than 5 times in a day) immediately after registration, the system may determine them as a “quantity-boosting account” and trigger temporary risk control.

II. Various Forms of TikTok Traffic Restrictions

The throttling issue of TikTok is more complicated than the account suspension. It comes in two forms: true throttling and false throttling.
True throttling includes permanent throttling and black box throttling. Permanent throttling is usually caused by excessive marketing, content sensitivity, environmental anomalies, etc., and is basically impossible to solve. It is recommended to abandon the account decisively. Black box throttling may last for 7 days, 15 days or 30 days. An account may be subject to this throttling if it gains followers too quickly, excessively attracts attention, or is judged as machine manipulation.
The false throttling is more covert, including initial playback volume being extremely low (below 200), duplicate check throttling, content throttling, etc. If a new account has poor video content quality, too low account weight, or non-vertical content, the initial playback allocated by the system will be very little. And if domestic materials are copied or mixed-video content is posted, with an excessively high duplicate check rate, the system will judge that the content originality is insufficient and directly lead to throttling.

III. The Hassle of Verification Issues

The verification mechanism of TikTok is also a headache. The reasons for verification failure are diverse: unstable network leads to the failure of timely sending verification information, security issues with the account, problems with the phone configuration preventing the reception of SMS verification codes, and the TikTok server being busy, etc. Many users have reported that even if they register with a real phone number, they often encounter verification failure situations and need to resend the verification information multiple times to succeed.

IV. Limitations of Traditional Solutions

In response to these issues, many users have attempted to use regular VPNs or cheap proxy services, but the results are often unsatisfactory. The reason is that these services mostly provide data center IPs, and these IP ranges have already been marked by TikTok. Using them is equivalent to declaring to the platform “I am using a proxy”.
The drawbacks of shared proxies are more obvious. The same IP address may be used simultaneously by dozens or even hundreds of users. When any of these users engages in illegal activities, the entire IP segment will be implicated, resulting in innocent users suffering the consequences. Data from 2025 shows that the risk of account blocking for those using shared IP networks is nearly 10 times higher than that for those using dedicated residential IPs.

V. Core Advantages of Static Residential IP

In this context, overseas static residential IP has become the key to breaking through the deadlock. Unlike data center IP, residential IP comes from real home broadband networks and has inherent legality and credibility. Novproxy, as a professional provider of overseas residential IP, its services precisely meet the strict requirements of TikTok’s operation.
Novproxy possesses over 100 million active residential IP addresses, covering 190 countries. This vast IP pool guarantees that each user can obtain an independent and clean IP address. Its static ISP service uses native IP, which is certified by legitimate ASN providers. The IP purity is extremely high, perfectly simulating the network environment of real users.
From a technical perspective, the static residential IP of Novproxy offers several advantages: an up to 99.9% connection success rate, a response time of less than 0.5 seconds, ensuring the smoothness of account operations; an unlimited traffic billing model, allowing for frequent video uploads and live streaming without any restrictions; and support for 120-minute long session duration, avoiding abnormal detection caused by frequent IP switching.

VI. Remarkable Effects in Practical Applications

After using Novproxy for static residential IPs, the operating environment of TikTok was fundamentally improved. Each account was bound to an independent residential IP, combined with the localization of geographical settings, making the account behavior completely in line with the characteristics of real users. Content creators found that the video review speed significantly increased, the recommendation volume tended to be stable, and the throttling situation was greatly reduced.
For operators who need to manage multiple accounts, the multi-port solution provided by Novproxy is particularly practical. By assigning different static residential IPs to each account, true account isolation is achieved, avoiding associated risks. Many users have reported that after using residential IPs, the weight of their accounts has significantly increased, and their content is more likely to be recommended by the platform.

VII. Professional Suggestions for TikTok Operations

Based on the latest platform rules and risk control trends, it is recommended that TikTok operators adopt the following strategies:
During the initial stage of creating a new account, special attention should be paid. For the first two weeks, maintain a posting frequency of 1-2 posts per day. The content must be original or pseudo-original that has been deeply edited. If the proportion of mixed clips exceeds 30%, the account may be blocked. After reaching a large number of followers, do not include any enticing copywriting, including sensitive words like “follow” or “private message”.
In terms of content creation, it is necessary to avoid continuous repetition or content with a single background in live broadcasts, to prevent being identified by the system as a “zombie account”. Especially when there is no live broadcast, more cautious operation is required. The timing of video release is also very crucial. If released during the daytime in China, not only will it be subject to throttling, but it may also be judged as a false account in the long run.

VIII. Criteria for Selecting High-Quality Services

When choosing a static residential IP service, several key indicators must not be overlooked. The size of the IP pool directly determines the purity and availability of the IP. Novproxy’s over 100 million IP reserves ensure that users can obtain clean IPs that have not been abused. The timeliness of technical support is also crucial. The 7×24-hour technical guarantee can ensure the continuity of operational activities.
The price factor also requires rational consideration. The long-term static ISP service provided by Novproxy only costs $3 per month. Compared to the losses caused by account blocking, this investment seems insignificant. What’s more noteworthy is that its policy of traffic never expiring allows users to flexibly arrange their usage plans, avoiding waste of resources.

IX. Implementation Suggestions and Precautions

To maximize the effectiveness of the static residential IP, it is recommended that users adopt a progressive strategy. In the initial stage of a new account, maintain the normal usage frequency and gradually build up the account’s reputation; avoid performing a large number of operations in a short period of time to give the system time to adapt; and regularly change the IP address, while maintaining the consistency of the geographical location.
At the same time, both content quality and user behavior are equally important. Even if one has high-quality IP resources, if they publish low-quality content or engage in illegal operations, they may still face penalties. Static residential IP is a safeguard tool, not an immunity certificate. Reasonable and compliant operation is the long-term solution.
In today’s highly competitive TikTok environment, the application of technological tools has become the key to success. The overseas static residential IP service provided by Novproxy not only addresses the urgent issue of account suspension and traffic limitation, but also offers a stable and reliable operating environment for content creators and businesses. Choosing the right technological partner enables the full release of creativity and business value, which is the fundamental way to cope with platform challenges.
