&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this post I will reveal the mystery of the blocking TikTok using DNS blocklist&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;mYsTeRy, huh. Nah, I&amp;rsquo;m kidding. That post is my personal note just to avoid loosing that info, because I spent 10 minutes figuring that out.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here is the &amp;ldquo;mystery&amp;rdquo; - just block the following root domains and you&amp;rsquo;re good:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;*.tiktok.com
*.ttlivecdn.com
*.tiktokcdn-us.com
*.tiktokv.com
*.tiktokcdn.com
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Apparently, NextDNS Parental Control doesn&amp;rsquo;t catch them for some reason and there are multiple threads on their help forum related to that issue.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
