- Your Issue Detail:  Hi,
The *.ttlivecdn.com.* and *.fcdn.us.tiktokv.com.* and *.tiktokcdn-us.com.* blocks are breaking TikTok thumbnails. I am using Deep Packet Inspection which is blocking CNAMEs

I would recommend not blocking CDNs (Content Delivery Networks) as they serve all sorts of content, valid domains included.
I wish I could provide the domains, but there are so many of them, and Im not sure which is doing what.

While trying to figure out exactly which domain was causing the issues, I ended up trying to whitelist more than 20 domains, unable to figure out which was the culprit.
For example, it could have been:
push-rtmp-f5-gcp01.ttlivecdn.com.c.worldfcdn.com (CNAME for push-rtmp-f5-gcp01.ttlivecdn.com)
push-rtmp-f5-tt01.fcdn.us.tiktokv.com.c.worldfcdn2.com (CNAME for push-rtmp-f5-tt01.fcdn.us.tiktokv.com)
pull-f5-va01.ttlivecdn.com.c.worldfcdn.com (CNAME for pull-f5-va01.ttlivecdn.com)
p16-ad-sg.ibyteimg.com
p16-sign.tiktokcdn-us.com
frontier-va.tiktokv.com
Or one of countless others.

There are literally tons of these and iterations like these in the traffic logs. Without being familiar with TikTok's architecture and load balancers, I have no idea. I am trying to whitelist one at a time but there are so many I can't figure it out.
