Bypass YouTube regional restrictions

ProxFree is a simple and completely free web proxy service.  Unblock and access any YouTube videos in your country now. If you can't watch the video that you're interested in because it's not being shown in your country for some strange reason, Proxfree may be a solution for you. Simply enter the URL of the video you want to watch, choose a server location and IP address and you're then able to view the video. If you still find it's difficult, try a different server location. Should you do this? I have no idea - it depends on why a video was blocked in the first place. However, it's always worth knowing how this stuff works, because if you work in a school for example, you'll need to understand how children may be able to see stuff that you're not expecting them to be able to view.

Freemake Video Converter

Freemake offers a variety of tools, such as the Video Converter. You can use it to download a programme in one format and turn it into another. This does have some interesting side effects. Suppose you download a programme from the BBC iPlayer, and you pick the Windows Media Player as the download option. When it's finished, you can drag the file to your library, and watch it - but of course you only have 30 days to do this. However, if you right click the file and select Properties, and then click the Media usage rights tab, you'll see that it can only be played to the specific date.

However, with the Freemake Video Converter you can click the video option, open the protected iPlayer file and select a different format, such as AVI and click convert. When it's finished, you can drag the converted file across to your media player library and click the Media Rights tab again and you'll see the restrictions have now gone. I wouldn't advise sharing the file with anyone else however, and of course you shouldn't use this option to keep a programme longer than the Media Rights attached to it in the first place.

Hola Better Internet

There are times when you can't see the stuff that you want to see, mainly because you're in the wrong country at the wrong time. Suppose that you're American, and you're in Britain for a holiday, and you want to watch a particular programme on Hulu for example. You can't, because it's blocked in the UK. This is where Hola's unblocker comes into play. You can download it and install it, and the application makes it appear as if you're accessing the resource from within the USProblem solved. This may also help if the content that you want to look at has been blocked for other, political reasons.
