Unblock YouTube

Why can’t I access YouTube?

It’s common for governments to block users’ access to websites and internet services for a variety of reasons. Some pages are said to be blocked in order to protect citizens from obscene and harmful content, while others are geo-restricted due to copyright issues. However, very often these reasons are political.

Despite it’s popularity, YouTube is also one of the most heavily restricted websites in the world. In some countries individual content is often asked to be removed as it is accused of violation of national security or laws, while in China, North Korea, Iran or Pakistan the service is completely inaccessible.

No wonder travelers and residents of censored countries often look for ways to access their favorite media content. So far, a reliable VPN service looks like the best option for that.

How to securely bypass YouTube restrictions?

Like many other websites with geo-restrictions, YouTube blocked by denying users’ access based on their IP address. When you connect to the internet, it immediately reveals the country you are currently in. From this moment any internet restrictions valid there are applied to you as well.

NordVPN allows connecting to a remote VPN server making your IP address look like you are located in the chosen location. Not only this unlocks all restricted YouTube content, but also protects your private data at the same time.

NordVPN reroutes your internet traffic through an encrypted tunnel and has strict no-logs policy meaning that none of your internet activities can be monitored or censored.
