Since 2022, TikTok has been operating in Russia in a restricted mode - the feed does not update fully, some content and recommendations are unavailable, and publishing is limited. The VPN for TikTok from HubHide restores full functionality: you connect through a foreign server, get the full feed, recommendations, and regional content. Videos - without slowdowns.
Since 2022, TikTok has restricted some features for Russia: the new feed and recommendations load in a limited way, access to some global content is closed, and publishing and some sections work with restrictions. It feels like the app is "half-turned off."
Filtering on operator networks (TSPU/DPI) also adds to the problem, along with pressure on workaround tools: in 2025, Russia blocked 258 VPN services, and by February 2026 - 469 (Kommersant, Habr). That's why "any VPN" doesn't always restore full functionality.
The working solution is a foreign IP plus a protocol that filters cannot detect (VLESS with obfuscation). Then TikTok sees you as a user from another country and delivers the full feed, recommendations, and content.
258 blocked VPN services in 2025 → 469 by February 2026 (Kommersant, Habr). In the Freedom on the Net 2025 ranking, Russia scored 17 out of 100 (Freedom House). That's why a VPN that isn't blocked by the first filter is essential.
A VPN routes traffic through a server in another country, and for TikTok, you become a user from there - with the full feed, recommendations, and regional content. And for the operator, it's just an encrypted connection that cannot be selectively blocked.
For vertical video, speed is crucial: on a fast protocol, videos scroll smoothly, without loading. Plus, changing the location opens content from a specific country - convenient for trends and music.
It's not about the brand, but about the protocol and whether the service is updated. There is no "magic protocol forever" - filters in Russia have even gone after advanced protocols. What wins is the combination: VLESS and obfuscation (masquerading as regular HTTPS) plus a service that keeps several connection methods ready and constantly updates. HubHide is built exactly this way.
| Protocol | Restores access to TikTok in the Russian Federation | Speed | Obfuscation |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLESS (+ obfuscation) | ✓ Yes - a working choice | Full feed, video without slowdowns | As regular HTTPS |
| WireGuard | ✗ Gets blocked first | High | No |
| OpenVPN | ✗ Detected by filters | Average | No |

"Free VPN for TikTok" is searched often, but free services are weak for video: overloaded servers cause buffering and slowdowns, and an unstable IP doesn't always open the full feed. And security is questionable - free VPNs widely allow data leaks.
Out of 100 popular free VPNs for Android, 88% allowed data leaks, and 71% shared them with third parties. Source: Top10VPN (via Paperpaper).
A paid service with its own infrastructure is more reliable, and you can test it without risk: HubHide offers a free 14-day trial period with no automatic renewals.
VPN is on, but the feed is still limited or video lags? Usually helps:
Choose a location with the desired content and trends.
Enable VLESS - stable IP and bypasses filters.
Completely close and reopen TikTok with the VPN active.
Clear the TikTok app cache and restart it.

Basic terms to make an informed VPN choice
A modern tunneling protocol: it masks the connection as regular HTTPS, so to filters it looks like visiting a website.
An additional masking layer - the connection "gets lost" in general traffic and doesn't reveal VPN signs.
Deep Packet Inspection: equipment analyzes traffic by its "fingerprint" - protocol type, handshakes, packet structure.
Technical means of counteracting threats on operator networks, through which traffic flows and is filtered.
A fast modern protocol with minimal latency - good where filtering is less strict.
A time-tested protocol with flexible AES-256 encryption; easily detected by filters.
A safety switch: blocks internet if the VPN tunnel drops, so your real IP isn't exposed.
You access the internet through a foreign server and for websites become a user from another country.
A VPN for TikTok is not only about access but also about protection. HubHide uses strong encryption of traffic between your device and the server, doesn't sell data, and doesn't keep logs of your activity. This is especially important when personal correspondence, work data, and payments go through the service.
Additionally, DNS leak protection works - all requests go through the encrypted tunnel rather than directly to the provider - and Kill Switch mode blocks internet access if the VPN disconnects, so your real IP is not exposed. Servers are located in different countries, so there's always a backup location if one starts being filtered. On public Wi-Fi in cafes or airports, such a channel also protects your data from interception.
Technically, everything is simple for the user: one account works on multiple devices simultaneously, settings are synced, and servers and configurations are regularly updated for new restrictions - so the VPN for TikTok remains working even when rules change. If something stops opening, Telegram support helps find a working server and protocol.
Everything about the VPN for TikTok from HubHide
Since 2022, TikTok has restricted some features for the Russian Federation: limited feed and recommendations, unavailable global content, publishing restrictions. A VPN with a foreign IP restores full functionality.
Connect a VPN with a server in another country using a protocol with obfuscation (VLESS) - TikTok will see you as a user from there and deliver the full feed, recommendations, and content.
Yes. Choose a server in the desired country - and get its trends, music, and videos. This is convenient for viewers, creators, and SMM.
On a fast protocol (VLESS, WireGuard), videos scroll smoothly. Lag usually comes from overloaded free servers, not the technology itself.
For video and the full feed - weak: buffering, slowdowns, unstable IP, and security risks (88% of free VPNs allowed leaks). A paid service is more reliable, and HubHide offers a 14-day trial.
Android and iPhone/iPad, as well as computer and router. One account - multiple devices.
Register, install the client from the App Store or via link, import the profile, allow the VPN, select a server, and connect - then open TikTok.
The use of VPN by individuals is not prohibited in Russia. HubHide is an international information security service.
Don't guess which VPN will open the full feed. Take it and test it: 14 days free, no automatic renewals.
