Have you ever experienced the YouTube message: Video unavailable. The uploader has not made this video available in your country, solve it doing this.
Firstly, let’s explain what a is VPN. Virtual Private Network (VPN) is used to protect you and your data or the web, but also to access websites from other location than where you are. In our case, that’s this second use we wish to use in order to see a blocked video on the web.
Watch YouTube video blocked in your country
Install a VPN, just get the google chrome add-on, SetupVPN – Lifetime Free VPN, put your name and email for free quick registration. Click the country allowed to watch the video and that’s it. Then, you can watch your YouTube video without trouble.
It’s a free Chrome add-on and it works well for YouTube. Easy and the free version is enough. Just click the add-on icon, select your wished country and refresh the page to access the content.
This is how the Google Chrome extension looks:
I mainly use it for blocked YouTube videos or for Arte.tv website, basically, anytime I have the message “This video is not available in your country”.
