mYsTeRy, huh. Nah, I’m kidding. That post is my personal note just to avoid loosing that info, because I spent 10 minutes figuring that out.

Here is the “mystery” - just block the following root domains and you’re good:

```
*.tiktok.com
*.ttlivecdn.com
*.tiktokcdn-us.com
*.tiktokv.com
*.tiktokcdn.com
```

Apparently, NextDNS Parental Control doesn’t catch them for some reason and there are multiple threads on their help forum related to that issue.

Nevertheless, I’m quite happy with their service - like dnsmasq on steroids and without self-hosting issues. Here is my ref link, if you’re interested: [https://nextdns.io/?from=94mbn843](https://nextdns.io/?from=94mbn843) (hey, I do pay them money, so it’s not an ad)
