Bypass SIM Card Restrictions: A Comprehensive Guide to Accessing TikTok Globally and Optimizing VPS Nodes
This article provides a comprehensive guide for tech professionals and enthusiasts looking to access TikTok without SIM card restrictions and optimize their VPS nodes for improved performance. It covers how to modify iPhone settings, find suitable VPS providers, set up double ISP nodes, and use chain proxies or dedicated lines for speed enhancement.
Accessing TikTok Without SIM Card Restrictions
For iPhone users, accessing TikTok without removing the domestic SIM card is now possible. This involves changing the region settings to a non-China location and connecting to a node.
- Navigate to General Settings on your iPhone.
- Change the region to a country outside of China.
- Connect to a node (VPN or proxy server).

Addressing TikTok Operation Issues: Zero Views, Limited Engagement
Many users encounter issues such as zero video views, limited live stream engagement, and inability to like or follow. These problems are often mistakenly attributed to faulty node IPs, leading users to purchase dedicated TikTok lines. However, many of these so-called dedicated lines use ordinary data center IPs.
The primary reasons for these issues are more likely account restrictions or problems with the mobile device’s environment, rather than the IP address itself. This tutorial focuses on solving TikTok node issues, offering a simpler, more universal method for finding VPS providers and setting up double ISP nodes.
Finding and Selecting VPS Providers
A key method involves using a specific URL structure to find VPS providers in different countries. By appending the country’s abbreviation to the URL, users can discover VPS providers in that region.
- Append the country code (e.g., HK for Hong Kong, US for United States) to the provided URL.
- Example:
[URL]HKwill display VPS providers in Hong Kong. - Evaluate providers based on their ranking, noting that higher-ranked providers may be more popular but also potentially more scrutinized.

Setting Up Double ISP Nodes
The tutorial demonstrates how to set up a double ISP node to enhance performance. It also addresses IP and DNS mismatch issues.
Steps include:
- Purchasing a VPS from the selected provider.
- Accessing the VPS and installing necessary software (e.g., XUI panel).
- Configuring the node and testing its connectivity.
Enhancing Node Speed with Chain Proxies and Dedicated Lines
To improve node speed, especially for users in regions with poor connectivity, chain proxies or dedicated lines can be implemented. Chain proxies involve routing traffic through multiple nodes, while dedicated lines provide a direct, high-speed connection.
- Implement chain proxies using tools like Shadowrocket on iOS.
- Set up dedicated line forwarding by subscribing to a dedicated line service and configuring the node to use the provided IP and port.

Addressing IP and DNS Mismatches
IP and DNS mismatches can be resolved by modifying the XUI panel template to use local DNS servers. This ensures that the DNS location matches the node’s IP location, improving anonymity and security.
- Access the XUI panel and modify the default template.
- Replace the DNS server addresses with those of the target country.
- Save the changes and restart the panel.
By following these steps, users can effectively bypass SIM card restrictions, optimize their VPS nodes, and enhance their TikTok experience.
