It's also worth noting that using a VPN will do more than just unblock YouTube for you – other services that have regional locks, like Netflix, will be accessible to you, as will anything else on the Internet that is normally behind arbitrary regional locks. VPNs Do More Than Just Unblocking YouTube What do you mean not everyone uses an ad blocker? Has your school or work network administrator blocked YouTube? Still no problem! All you have to do is – you've guessed it – connect to a server in a different location, and YouTube will be yours to scour once again. If you live in a country that has banned YouTube entirely, no problem - again, all you have to do is connect to a server in a region that it is not blocked in, and you're good to go. If you want to unblock a YouTube video that is blocked in your region, all you have to do is connect to a server in a region that it is not blocked in and - just like that - you'll be able to watch whatever it was that was deemed inappropriate for you and your fellow countrymen. In doing so, it both proxies your traffic, and encrypts your information, giving an extra layer of privacy and security. So how can a VPN service help? I'm glad you asked!Ī VPN service lets you connect to multiple server locations around the world, rerouting your traffic through whichever one you're connected to and making it appear to the rest of the internet that you are using a device in that location. How to Unblock YouTube with a VPN Now everyone can be Tony Stark! Individual videos can be blocked due to region locks imposed by the uploader, copyright claims, or governments requesting YouTube ban certain videos in their region (yes, YouTube do comply with these requests. There are also some countries around the world whose governments have deemed YouTube to be a threat of some kind (in fairness, there are a lot of grifters out there) and have blanket-banned the site, or greatly restricted access. The former is quite common on shared networks like those at school or work, where network administrators have blocked YouTube for productivity reasons. There are two types of block: a block on the entire site, or on individual videos.
The Void whispers back: “Sign up to a VPN service, obviously.” Why is YouTube Blocked? Sometimes they don't quite think things throughįirst off, let's talk a little about what we mean by YouTube being blocked. “What must I do to lay my eyes upon such wondrous content?” you yell into the Void. You curse, you scream, you cry at the sheer frustration of not being able to access that video that looked super epic in the thumbnail. “This video is not available in your country”, it says, as if digital information were somehow beholden to arbitrary lines drawn on a map. We've all felt the frustration at some point or another: you're on a good YouTube binge clicking from one video to the next, when you're hit with the dreaded little red grimacing box face.
