If you are outside the US you probably stumbled across the “Unfortunately this video is not available in your country” – error message.
Solution: use a web proxy to access YouTube.
My Favorite
Browser extensions like ProxMate (for Chrome or Firefox, the install the YouTube package) or ZenMate (Chrome or Firefox).
Another Option: Web Proxies
Another reliable method is the following.
Just add “ss” inf front of youtube.com/…
Example:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Bmhjf0rKe8 to
http://www.ssyoutube.com/watch?v=0Bmhjf0rKe8
Then click on the little video preview thumbnail on the right to watch the video (or choose one of the download options)
Download Youtube Video / Convert to MP3
- Use peggo.co and simply paste the youtube URL there.
Other Proxy Sites (simply copy and paste the video url into the proxy):
- hidemyass.com – solid option, but doesn’t let you skip inside the video
- proxy.org – lots of available proxy servers
- unblockyoutube.us
- the bulletproof long term solution – use a VPN, as described here
dude i love you I’ve been trying to watch this video all night and tried proxy servers and everything, thank you so much 🙂
Thanks
THANKS BUDDY
This method no longer works for me but I found a better one!
Type “bypass” into any restricted YouTube video’s URL to unlock it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qybUFnY7Y8w
http://www.youtubebypass.com/watch?v=qybUFnY7Y8w
This will bypass both age and region restrictions!
Where do you put “bypass” in the front or in the affter the url?
Why don’t use try this http://2unblockyoutube.com – don’t need to ask where to put that “bypass” anymore. J/K
Hi all. Unable to watch videos on YouTube using 2unblcokyoutube.com n youtubebypass.com. Not getting the play icon for videos. Any suggetions…
the ‘ss’ method is working like a charm, thnx very much!
Tried, ProxMate, hidemyass and the “ss” thing and all didn’t work on YouTube. I’m trying to what a video from animal planet channel’s feature videos by the way.
wow!
Thanks for sharing this method! I didn’t think that it could be so easy to bypass country restrictions on youtube. I was always using http://ezywatch.com for that but your method is also good 🙂
What about if your in the US and wanted watch videos from other countries like italy? Show that we get here in the US, but in ital. What about People in the US who get blocked from watching yotube channels from other countries?
Invade those countries.

Enjoying the fascism yet? Keep right on voting Liberal and you will get more of the same on steroids.
It works, Gregor-YOU DA MAN! Thanks a million.
Any of these still working? SS method took me to a random site.
All options working fine for me
Proxmate works for me. But because I’m a graphic designer, I decided to make a t-shirt about it. 🙂

If you want to watch youtube videos blocked in your country visit YT-Videos.com and watch all youtube videos without any proxy or vpn. IF full youtube is blocked in your country you can watch videos from yt-videos website.
The people in charge should be shot like the animals they are for high treason for supporting the blocking of videos in the USA!
We’re coming with the guns! 1776 is going to ring again!
