There are various solutions on the market claiming to solve TikTok live streaming network issues, but their quality varies widely. This article will thoroughly analyze these solutions and guide you on how to choose the right network plan for TikTok live streaming.

Analysis of Four Main Live Streaming Network Solutions

Currently, there are four primary live streaming network solutions: node software, self-built VPS, soft routers, and SD-WAN dedicated lines. Let’s break down their advantages and disadvantages:

1. Node Software

This solution connects to TikTok via shared servers with low security. Its main benefits are affordability and low deployment barriers. However, it uses dynamic, shared IPs, which often result in inadequate IP masking. This can lead to account shadow banning or suspension. Therefore, it’s not recommended for sellers seeking stable live streaming performance.

2. Self-Built VPS

Compared to node software, a self-built VPS involves renting servers in target regions, ensuring dedicated and controllable networks. Note that native IPs need to be purchased separately, and there is a technical learning curve. Additionally, the network quality still lags behind SD-WAN dedicated lines.

3. Soft Routers

Soft routers are “modified” routers using open-source software for complex functions. For TikTok, providers configure VPN nodes on these routers. While user-friendly, they fundamentally rely on VPN technology. During peak live streaming times, issues like lag and instability often occur. Most providers are small-scale vendors with subpar after-sales service.

4. SD-WAN Dedicated Lines

SD-WAN dedicated lines connect local networks to an SD-WAN backbone, creating exclusive overseas live streaming channels for TikTok. Compared to soft routers, they offer superior stability, compliance, and after-sales support.

Tips for Choosing SD-WAN Dedicated Lines

To avoid scams or unnecessary costs, consider these factors when selecting an SD-WAN provider:

Opt for free trials to test service quality firsthand.

Determine your actual bandwidth needs before purchasing to avoid over/under-sizing plans.

Verify the real bandwidth limits of packages to avoid being misled by inflated specs.
