YouTube Proxy?

Malintex_Terek

YouTube, in its overzealous quest to curb copyright infringement, often does bizarre things like have certain parts of videos unlicensed in a particular country be slammed by a copyright claim. advent` for example has a GL video featuring a song performed by Masaaki Endoh that can't be seen in the US due to a copyright claim from STARZ of all companies.

Frankly, I can understand barring most videos from viewership when licensed, but when we have an unlicensed video and part 5/6 has a copyright claim, one must conclude that either the laws are more complicated than one would think, or YouTube has some serious bugs to work out with their auto-claim system.

Is there a way for me to use a proxy to still view videos online from YouTube? pHp proxies don't seem to do much for flash, though they permit downloading and uploading of other data just fine. I'm looking for IPs outside of the US, like Paraguay or Switzerland.

Thanks.

P.s. don't copypasta the url of the youtube failure. I did so first time xD

That is quite the amazing proxy you've given me, but the problem still persists. I need a proxy with an IP extension that isn't in the R1 region…a South American country would be a good place to aim for.

Here is something you can try.

1.) Get firefox and portable tor, if you don;t want to install firefox, download portable firefox here.

2.) Run the executable and extract the files in a folder of your choice.

3.) In firefox install the torbutton addon (tools -> addons -> search torbutton)

4.) Restart firefox.

Now whenever you need to circumvent an ip based censoring, just turn on portable tor and firefox, enable torbutton and surf away.

If you want to know how torbutton works, imagine bittorrent but with websites and without you seeding. People all over the world pull up the website and send it to you.

Youtube via tor?? Prepare to wait for ages… I've never had problems getting any clip with vtunnel. Mind giving us the link to the video so we can try out stuff ourselves?

I'm using Tor right now, my IP is indeed masked but I'm again facing the same proxy problem as before - YouTube isn't streaming the footage I'm looking for, it asks that I install Java first.

As for the video, it can be found

Indeet doesn't work with vtunnel. Only works without. You may want to try find a proxy in Germany :D
Also do you want a general solution for your problem? I'd send you the GaoGaiGar clip if that's it.

General solution. I'm a bit concerned because what good is a proxy if I can't use it to browser certain websites? Like I used TOR in combination with IRC and got a temp ban from rizon - and that was accidental.

I'm not quite sure what is disabling java through the proxy.

No it's still there. I played it 10 sec ago. Looks like your solution doesn't work as well.
