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.

same bro, shitter is also on that block list
Edit that hosts file baby
