How to Watch Blocked YouTube Videos in Your Country?

For Computer Browsers

#1. Hola VPN Extension

VPN’s are best tools to fake your IP address location. VPN hide your original country servers by sending your web traffic to another secure location thus deceiving the App or website. It forms a secure tunnel to provide end-to-end protection.

In other words, when connected with VPN your device will access the internet from other server location and you can play your desired content as it is not blocked in that country.

Hola VPN Extension

Step 1.

Download the Hola VPN Extension on your Computer PC.

Chrome: Hola VPN

Mozilla: Hola VPN

Safari: Hola (Mac OS)

Step 2.

Once downloaded, the Hola VPN Add-On is added to the Extension bar.

Step 3.

Now open the YouTube Video and click on the VPN extension.

Select the country where you wish to connect.

Step 4.

The extension will help load the YouTube video from that country server. You are done!

#2. Ultra Surf Proxy Server

You can try any VPN extension like Hola VPN or Master VPN. But the most practised tool is a free proxy-based tool for internet privacy and security that allows you to bypass firewalls and protect your identity online.

• Download the UltraSurf application and install it on your PC.
• Then let the application connect to the server and you are done.
