GitHub.io is a static web hosting service offered by GitHub. Developers often use this platform to deploy "unblocked" versions of websites because the domain github.io is widely used for legitimate coding projects and documentation. Consequently, content filters in schools and offices often struggle to block specific subdomains without blocking the entire GitHub ecosystem.

Web Proxies: These sites act as a middleman. You enter the TikTok URL into a bar on the GitHub-hosted page, and it fetches the content for you, masking your activity from the local network.
