I think they’re intentionally blocking TikTok DNS records.
I do this for a number of sites so that the only way I can reach them is by intentionally turning on a VPN, bypassing my local DNS server (I self-host Pi.Hole), and visiting the blocked target.
Yep that’s right :) Intentionally blocked so I can never go there either accidentally or on purpose, and so any embeds or cross site tracking doesn’t work.
Same for Facebook, X, and a bunch of others, also using pihole the same as yourself.
Simply better for my wellbeing to cut some of this out of my life.
