The best way to unblock YouTube videos with 3 finger taps

There are so many amazing videos on YouTube! On this awesome website who already changed the world since its foundation in 2005, You can actually learn a skill, watch entertaining shows, and so much more. This diversity which we have all got used to is exactly why it is so frustrating to click on a link for a YouTube video, only to find out that you cannot watch the video, may it be because of restrictions at your work, school, or the country you’re currently located at. The thing is - there is actually a very easy way to unblock YouTube regardless of your location, but wait, it’s not enough to simply unblock YouTube videos. You also need to keep the connection speed in mind and of course protect your browsing privacy. In case the unblocking solution you are using is slow, your videos will constantly pause to buffer (which might actually be more annoying than being completely blocked). And the most creepy issue is that the server you are using for watching YouTube videos may be collecting private information about you without your permission or acknowledgement. The best way to to unblock YouTube videos while getting a fast connection and having your information kept private is by using a non-logging Virtual Private Network (VPN).

YouTube unblocking methods compared

Now you may be wondering how a VPN compares to the other YouTube unblocking solutions out there. Here’s why the other methods are not as good as using a VPN.

Unblock YouTube with a proxy

A proxy server may seem like a good way of unblocking YouTube videos since the internet is filled with so many of these free services. But free proxy services are notoriously unreliable, they tend to be slow and the majority of them continuously log your browsing history in order to abuse it and make themselves some profit. This makes the proxy unblockers a much less recommended option for watching blocked YouTube videos.

Browser extensions

First of all - Many of the browser extensions use free proxy servers, making them exactly as suspicious and dangerous as the proxy solutions themself. In addition, with this solution you can’t even know how safe your proxy connection is, since the extension chooses one for you in the background, and it usually simply chooses the cheapest options...

Second, using those ‘high quality’ browser extensions you will only be able to watch YouTube videos in the browser that has the extension installed. No browser extension can assist you on mobile, especially not on iOS devices such as iPhones or iPads. A VPN on the other hand, will unblock YouTube on every browser or app you may use, so you don’t have to hunt for separate plugins and solutions each time.

Mobile data

Videos require a lot of data. And so while you sure can get around YouTube restrictions at work or school by using your mobile data plan. Even these short videos you don’t remember watching can require a ton of data, leading to expensive data bills. Using mobile data will also bound you from getting around restrictions in your country since websites like YouTube are sometimes blocked directly by the government. Using a VPN on your mobile device, with a WiFi connection, is a much more robust and cost effective solution.

Why are YouTube videos blocked?

Government censorship

YouTube might be blocked in your country for cultural, political, or religious reasons. Some governments see YouTube as a platform that could spread damaging information or cause social unrest and so they choose to block it.

Increase employee productivity

Some corporations and employers block YouTube (as well as Facebook in most cases) because they suspect their employees are watching videos when they should be working. These employers believe blocking YouTube will result in better productivity by their employees.

Increase student focus

Schools often block YouTube in order to prevent the students from watching videos and using social media while classes are in session.
