YouTube Video Banned? Really……?

It’s like a heavy punch in your face when you know, other people in the word can see it, you can see that video’s attention-grabbing thumbnail on your homepage, and now that you want to see it, you come to know this video is banned or blocked by YouTube in your country? – How uncool is that?

Well. Don’t panic yet, no matter how big YouTube has become, it’s still on the internet, and on internet nothing really is unrestricted!

And yeah, you guessed it right, following is how you can watch the blocked or banned or so-called ‘country or geo-restricted’ YouTube videos in just 5 minutes.

Why YouTube Videos Are Banned?

It isn’t essential to know why the videos are banned or blocked, but I think I will still share it because, there were many tricks I saw in past 3-4 years and they are now vanished and some new cool tricks are again here. So tricks are going to come or go but if you know the basic cause behind this banning or blocking of videos, you can always survive the Geo-restriction crisis by yourself.

Sometimes, videos are produced aiming at the certain geo-targeting like advertising or some education training or some fun stuff. In that case, user restricts the video to be watched for specific countries or states. Again, YouTube can also decide based on political issues or user interest to restrict the content if it’s too sensitive for people in other part of the world.

Basic you should remember here is – ‘GEO TARGETTING.’ If you can get through geological restriction, you can get through any blocked YouTube video. That’s it! Use VPN, use some app, use free proxies, you will get through it. Always!

And if you don’t want to waste your time in testing, and trying and want your videos to be unlocked and start watching YouTube right now, follow the steps below.
