What is tiktok-unlock?

This repository provides configuration files and scripts that let iPhone users switch their TikTok region without needing a physical SIM card from another country. The technique relies on iOS proxy apps that can intercept and rewrite encrypted network requests. By modifying certain values in TikTok network traffic on the fly, the app is made to behave as if it is running in a different country, such as Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, or the United States. The repo supports four iOS proxy applications: Quantumult X, Loon, Surge, and Shadowrocket. For each app, the README provides step-by-step instructions in Chinese explaining how to install the required certificates, enable HTTPS decryption, and load the corresponding configuration files from this repository. Each supported country gets its own configuration file with the correct rewrite rules and traffic routing policies. Once configured, users can access TikTok features that are otherwise restricted by region, including watching and posting videos, going live, liking and commenting on content, and sending direct messages. A beginner note in the README explains why TikTok should be freshly installed after the proxy rules are in place, rather than before, to avoid an early detection that would make the rewrite scripts stop working. The repository also includes a note on Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, with routing rules for that app. Most of the README content is written in Traditional or Simplified Chinese. The JavaScript files in the repository contain the actual rewrite logic that the proxy apps execute when they intercept matching TikTok traffic.
