We talk a lot about the benefits of using VPNs for streaming. You can use these popular services to access extra content from around the world on sites like Netflix and Prime Video, but sometimes it's about retaining access rather than increasing your content options.
If you want to retain your online freedom, you should consider using a VPN.
Do you need a VPN for YouTube?
You might have access to YouTube at all times, but not everyone is in the same boat. Many companies use a firewall to block YouTube on office networks, schools often filter YouTube to stop students from watching videos during class, and some countries with internet censorship block YouTube for political or cultural reasons. Plus, some content creators restrict their videos to block viewers from certain countries or locations.
The best way to bypass these restrictions is with a VPN.
How do you unblock YouTube with a VPN?
VPNs hide your real IP address and connect you to a secure server in another location. This quick and easy process of proxying your location can access YouTube videos in under five minutes:
Sign up for a VPN
Download the app to your device of choice (the best VPNs have apps for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, and more)
Open up the app and connect to a server in a location that supports YouTube
Use YouTube from anywhere in the world
