VPNs aren't that hard, but I feel like you overestimate the technical literacy of the general public in the US.
All the public will have to do is type "tiktok.com" in their browser and their computer will connect to directly to servers in China. For now, they don't even need a VPN.
Then our politicians will start discussing a national firewall. We'll show that we're better than China by doing the same things China would do (/s).
If you can use tik tok you can use a VPN. I click my VPN to start it and it auto connects. You think tapping 1 button on your phone is too hard for people who tap one button on their phone to open tik tok?
