If you are overseas, you may encounter this embarrassing situation:
Open QQ Music, but the playlist you have been longing for shows “Unable to play due to copyright issues”.
This is because QQ Music determines the user’s location based on the IP address, and many songs are only available to users in mainland China. Overseas IPs will be identified as “not within the authorized range” and naturally cannot be played.
So, is there a way to listen to QQ Music smoothly overseas? The answer is: residential IP proxy.
Why choose a residential IP?
Many people’s first reaction is VPN, but the problem is:
Data center IP is easy to identify.
Free VPN nodes are unstable and have high latency.
Some big-name VPNs cannot even unblock QQ Music.
A residential proxy IP, on the other hand, comes from a real home broadband network and appears to be a regular mainland Chinese user.
It’s more stable and less likely to be blocked.
It offers low latency and a near-native listening experience.
It’s more suitable for long-term use.
Preparation
To use QQ Music overseas, you’ll need:
A residential proxy service provider.
A computer.
A fingerprint browser.
A domestic QQ or WeChat account to log in.
Usage Tutorial
1. Purchase a residential IP
Go to the OKKproxy official website to purchase a residential IP and copy the node to the fingerprint browser.
2. Configure the node using the fingerprint browser.
After copying the node and checking that it is OK, you can create a window.
3. Open the created window and go to the QQ Music official website
Now all domestic songs can be played, and unlicensed music will not be displayed.
Usage Notes
Maintain IP stability: Do not change IP frequently to avoid triggering risk control on your account.
Network latency: Choose a domestic exit node close to your area to improve the listening experience.
Account security: It is best to bind a mobile phone number or WeChat account for easy verification.
Summary
The core reason why overseas users cannot listen to QQ Music is due to regional and copyright restrictions. By using a residential IP proxy, you can easily simulate a mainland Chinese user and use all the functions of QQ Music smoothly.
Compared with traditional VPNs, residential IPs are more stable, more secure, and more suitable for long-term listening or daily use.
If you are overseas for a long time and cannot leave QQ Music, trying a residential IP proxy would be a very reliable solution.
