Using 4G Proxy to target TikTok US failed

Honestly you are overcomplicating your life, I got US audience and the only thing I use is an US Sim, that's it, local wifi with US sim and I get 100% US audience... Oh and I create the accounts with gmails created in the US, maybe that's a factor.

This is the only correct reply, Paid VPNS on Iphone work for targeting countries organically. if you're not getting views its because your content sucks/flags or you aren't warming up correctly. Also after making a certain amount of tiktok accounts on 1 iphone you will get flagged so you need to factory reset your iphone and try again after

I shortly tried VPN and got US audience succesfully but got shadowbanned after 3 days, Was most definitely not the content, Could have been warming up mistakes, And there also was another Factor of why I possibly got shadowed, I have friends who have used VPN's succesfully for the past months, I still try to avoid them as there are many cases of people getting shadowbanned with VPN's.

still technically,If a VPN works a Proxy will work as well.

If your willing to share I'd like to know how you warm up your accounts and how long you have succesfully been using VPN's
thank's for your reply

I wish that were the case, I'm not willing to gamble months of time and money onto a Method that will potentially get me banned, by that I don't mean the SIM method. Funnily so I'm currently trying everything I can think of, there's nothing really complicated about it, there's nothing else I can do but try things.

I personally used SIM only method before as it was working perfectly, It stopped working for me after a while after which I have done around 6 SIM method tests on 3 different Phones to make it work, testing things like:
- different iOS versions
- different e-mail providers
- different SIM cards
and anything else that made sense,

Nothing works for me so If you're willing to share any more Info about your process I'd be happy to hear about that
thank's for your reply as well

1) Can't really answer that yet I don't have posted enough yet but 1k or even lower is IMO 100% no soft lock or shadowban, look at your metrics and determine wheter 1k views is fair or not, If you're getting 35s avg watchtime with 25% watched all High comment/share ratio and a 1k Video then, I'd belive this claim but so far I have not seen a single Video with good metrics and bad views.
2) Yeah I use e-mails
3) don't really want to namedrop that here (I can dm if you want) but I also don't see the point of asking since I have tested the method for a mere 3 days, If my proxy was going to eventually shadowban me (or not) then you wouldn't even know by only 3 days of testing
4) Yes I connect simply through my Wifi with shadowrocket to the proxy.

I personally think tiktok can flag devices as it has happened to me before, I already own multiple burner phones and after creating too many accounts on one device you're accounts will be shadowbanned by default
If you are using the same device that already has had mutliple shadow banned accounts no matter your method you will get shadowbanned again (I am pretty sure).

that being said I know some people who have created accounts well into the 50+ range on one device while being fine, personally that's why i switched to IPhones, ever since I stopped using Androids I had never received an instant shadowban just by creating the Account

The way you interact with TikTok may also shadowban you, this is why it's so important to have every step of these processes nailed down.

It's weird how I'm getting shadowbanned, these are my steps:

1) Factory Reset iPhone, turn off all location services, ad tracking, bluetooth, notifications, cellular data, airplane mode, no screen time, US region date/time, even turn off Siri
2) Tried both SIM / no SIM
3) Create gmail on my laptop, create US Apple ID on iPhone via settings
4) Shadowrocket with proxy, test for US IP address to check if it works
5) Install TikTok and create account with Apple ID, don't allow any notifications or contacts popup from TikTok
6) 1-2 hours of warm up (scrolling and liking 20-30% of the videos I watched, few comments)
7) Follow accounts (realise I can't follow), Post video = zero views

Wtf am I doing wrongly? Maybe I should just sign up for TikTok account with a Gmail created with US proxy. If you're willing to share, could you dm me the proxy that you're using?

I'd say it's most likely your warm up process or possibly the fact that you're doing this on a phone that is already flagged
Also check for leaks when using the Shadowrocket setups like a DNS leak for example,

I personally warm up accounts for 2-3 hours as well Not interacting with anything.
Do not like, comment, follow share or favourite anything

At least this has been working for me the last like 15/15 times without failing.

I've tried multiple warmup methods including ones that take multiple days, In my eyes the 2 biggest red flags are
1. Interacting too much early on
2. Not using the App enough

So even if you warm up for multiple days if you are considered inactive you will get shadowbanned as well

Obviously these are all just personal experience.

Make money with CRP, I already have multiple accounts in the Program, these we're originally created with the old method which doesn't work anymore.

Do you use socks5 or https for the proxy? I've only used socks5 so far. Btw, I tried a DNS leak test and all servers pointing to Cloudfare, does that mean it's a leak?

Do you mean warming up the account just by watching videos? Do you have to watch the full video each time or you can randomly skip them like a normal user? Do you do it 2-3 hours in one go? That's quite time consuming lol

when you say you are getting shadow banned, how many views are you getting?
Click to expand...
With my current method I did not get shadowbanned so far but I have only been testing for the past 3 days,
The only other time when I got shadowbanned was when I was using a VPN.

My original problem was finding a method to reach US audience safely which for a short term worked by SIM method for me.
This is what I'm currently trying to figure out as well as verifiying with a non residential US LLC to enter US CRP.

Click to expand...
as mentioned before 3days of videos are not really worth mentioning but on these three I averaged at 1,5k views getting better with each upload and metrics improving as well,
This is off topic though and not even my focus right now,

I am confident I can grow these accounts to 10k the question is just whether or not my account will survive until then + being able to verify to the CRP.

1.5k views is not shadow ban, Also your content does most of your country targeting

I never said 1,5k was a shadowban? 0 Views is a shadowban anything else IMO is just bad content. Even a blackscreen will get 50 views.

It's true that content will eventually find the right niche but that doesn't compare to starting off on a US account.

It will take you multiple weeks for your page to optimize to US and even if you end up with a relative high % of US viewers
the likelyhood is very high that you'll get many european english speaking people on your page that watch your content unless you are specifically producing content only US people watch (which is a handycap initself).

I have experience with this and can tell you it is very beneficial to start with 100% US audience.

I have experience with CPB too and I know its a long game not short term. You can target with VPN in the shorterm but I dont think its a good idea long term. I don't do CPB anymore I prefer Affiliate on tiktok for fast results. BTW which model of iphone are you using?

If you're having trouble using a 4G proxy to target TikTok US, there are several potential issues and corresponding solutions to consider:

Proxy Quality:

Ensure that your 4G proxy is from a reliable provider. Cheap or free proxies are often overused and can be detected and blocked by TikTok.

Geolocation:

Verify that the 4G proxy genuinely provides a US IP address. Use an IP lookup service to check the location of your proxy.

Proxy Configuration:

Double-check your proxy settings to ensure they are correctly configured in your device or application.

Proxy Type:

Use HTTP or SOCKS proxies as per the requirement. Some apps may work better with a specific type.

Proxy Rotation:

Rotate proxies regularly to avoid detection. Using the same proxy for too long can get it flagged and blocked.

Clear Cache and Cookies:

Clear your device’s cache and cookies to remove any old session data that might be causing issues.

Account Issues:

Ensure your TikTok account is not flagged or restricted. Sometimes, issues may arise from the account itself rather than the proxy.

App Version:

Make sure you are using the latest version of the TikTok app. Older versions might have issues that have been resolved in updates.

Alternative Proxy Providers:

If one provider fails, try another reputable 4G proxy provider. Sometimes switching providers can resolve the issue.

Network Restrictions:

Check if there are any network restrictions or firewalls blocking the proxy connection.

VPN Services:
Consider using a VPN service known for bypassing geo-restrictions. Some VPNs are optimized for streaming services and might work better than a 4G proxy.

Support and Forums:
Reach out to the proxy provider’s support for assistance. Additionally, forums and communities like Reddit can be useful for troubleshooting specific issues related to TikTok and proxies.

By systematically addressing these areas, you should be able to diagnose and resolve the issue with your 4G proxy when targeting Tik Tok US.

Quick Update

I have tested multiple things the past days including a 5G proxy + US SIM on an Iphone SE 2020.

Initially (today) I thought I was shadowbanned as my video reached 0 views and I was unable to get a verification code for some reason.
I tried like 15 times to verify my E-mail which is also,not very normal behaviour on an account and was unable to receive it in any way,

My video didn't get pushed initially but as I checked right now it was gaining views so I am not shadowbanned just yet.

Obviously this is not ensuring that my Method is completely save, I also realized one weakness:
most if not all mobile and residential/static proxies will result in a TCP/IP - Useragent mismatch.
Most of the proxies will not mask this by default but as I don't know if TikTok does something with that Information. this will be just a side note for now.


Now here to the immediate results Day1:
I bought Shadowrocket using Apple Store balance charged by a Gift card
I used Shadowrocket as my Proxy program to setup the 5g Proxy.
I was able to create a Tiktok account without any problem, swipe and use the app normally unlike the last time when I configured my proxy through the wifi settings.
I warmed the account for 2-3 Hours as I don't believe in warming the account for multiple days.
The audience on my Video was 99% US and 1% mexico showing that the Method at least will push to the US

The most important question obviously will stay unanswered for a while
Will this method result in a shadowban?


For me I can comfortably say it won't after the account will survive at least 60 days.
So this means this test (hopefully) will be a long lived one.

I will update this thread as I gain any new information I deem worth sharing or the setup failed.

In the best case scenario I will connect this Method to my next test In which I will see if I can verify with a non-residential LLC for the CRP program.

Ah so the shadow rocket is working for now, let see if you get set up for CRP, I gotta test with some version of shadow rocket on android, will update how it goes with me.

Yes, it's true don't use VPNs because they easily get flagged.
