You may come across a wonderful digital marketing course and the other day, the creator may choose to block viewership in or outside a certain territory.<\/p>\n<p>The point is, if you are an active streamer or binge-watcher, or an e-learner, or somebody who loves Youtube, you must have come across a blocked YouTube experience at least once in your lifetime.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about geo-restrictions <a href=\"https:\/\/iprovpn.com\/blog\/access-geo-restricted-content\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Proxies are gaining popularity as a way to circumvent censorship, and it\u2019s no surprise that many users resort to free YouTube proxy since it is one of the highly visited media platforms today (2 billion logged-in users). The main objective of using a proxy is to hide your IP address from third-party intruders. So if you want to view banned content, you can do so with ease by using a proxy. You may subscribe to it by browsing through <a href=\"https:\/\/proxy.coupons\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ProxyCoupons<\/a> to avail it with discounts. All you need to do is merely copy and then paste the video\u2019s URL onto the proxy website, and you\u2019re good to go!<\/p>\n<p>YouTube proxies offer a quick fix, and users love them especially because they are \u2018free\u2019. In fact, they might also be one of the many methods users utilize to <a href=\"https:\/\/iprovpn.com\/blog\/youtube-troubleshooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">troubleshoot YouTube<\/a> when it&#8217;s not working. However,<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>They leave your IP and personal information unencrypted, leaving you exposed to the many cyber-criminals lurking in all corners of the internet.<\/li>\n<li>Because they can\u2019t hide your IP address, your ISP can still monitor your activities on Youtube, and most probably on other streaming services too, and influence your content consumption by bandwidth throttling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n        <div class=\"iprovpn_btn_cta_row\">\n    \t<a class=\"btn_cta\" href=\"https:\/\/iprovpn.com\/buy-vpn\" title=\"Get iProVPN Now\">Get iProVPN NOW <i class=\"fas fa-long-arrow-alt-right\"><\/i><\/a>\n    \t<\/div>\n    \n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_You_Should_Avoid_a_Free_Youtube_Proxy\"><\/span>Why You Should Avoid a Free Youtube Proxy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Although proxies seem like a viable solution to bypass all censorship, several problems accompany free proxy websites. You may have heard that if you are not paying for it, then you\u2019re probably the product instead of the customer. This couldn\u2019t be truer in this case. It\u2019s convenient to use free stuff but what we forget is someone or the other is paying for these online services. By using a proxy server, you are surrendering your IP address to the proxy website, which makes you \u2018anonymous\u2019 to the websites you\u2019re visiting but not to the proxy server, making a point of privacy altogether moot.<\/p>\n<p>As mentioned earlier, not all proxies hide the IP. Such websites have other ways of unblocking Youtube for users and later they ditch the users one or the other way.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some other reasons why free YouTube proxy servers are a bad idea:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Almost_all_free_proxy_websites_do_not_pass_security_tests\"><\/span>Almost all free proxy websites do not pass security tests.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It has been observed that most proxy servers do not permit HTTPS connections which is a solid security issue. The lack of HTTPS means that the website is not secure <strong>and<\/strong> encrypted, which means that your search queries could be easily visible to anyone monitoring the connection. This makes using a free proxy worthless since it\u2019s not protecting your identity, which is needed for the task it is being employed for.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_can_gain_access_to_your_cookies\"><\/span>It can gain access to your cookies.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The internet would be a safe place if we were talking about chocolate chip cookies, but unfortunately, we\u2019re not. Every time you log on to a server, a file called a cookie is created on your device. This is useful because you don\u2019t have to log in to your data each time you visit the site, but when there\u2019s a proxy server as a middle man, there\u2019s a chance that the server can steal your cookies. This could lead to identity theft leading to more drastic problems, especially when visiting sensitive sites such as YouTube.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_connection_is_tracking_you\"><\/span>The connection is tracking you.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What do you know about the intentions of the free proxy or their managers? You\u2019re expecting privacy and quality service, but there\u2019s nothing that guarantees exactly that. There\u2019s no way of finding out if the proxy server owners have installed their own hardware to monitor your activities, so do think twice before using free YouTube proxy servers. They can record your activity on or outside Youtube, process such behavior and sell the data on the Dark web.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Risk_of_malware\"><\/span>Risk of malware<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You may consider yourself lucky at finding a free proxy server but consider what you\u2019re entrusting it with. You\u2019re hoping it won\u2019t infect your device with malware either intentionally or accidentally, and that is a risk that could cost you a lot in financial terms and other more substantial losses such as theft of private data and sensitive information. Some servers rely on ad revenue to continue their free services, leading to scammers if they are not vetted diligently.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Poor_service\"><\/span>Poor service<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Even after overlooking the risk they pose, you may find that using free proxy servers does not provide the quality of service you desired. This is because there are so many people using it and lack of funding, making it very slow.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_The_Best_Alternative_to_Free_Youtube_Proxy\"><\/span>\u00a0The Best Alternative to Free Youtube Proxy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A privacy tool but highly reliable for unblocking geo-restrictions is VPN. It helps to keep your activity private and keep your browsing history secure with its no-log policy so that you can access restricted content without risking your safety. Here\u2019s how VPNs differ from proxies:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>By using a VPN, your data is fully encrypted, which means that no one will be able to see your online activity, whether it\u2019s the government, online entities or other digital businesses. Your personal information is safe from hackers because no one can gain access to it on the go when you\u2019re using a VPN.<\/li>\n<li>If you want to be almost anonymous, then opt for a VPN that has a no-log policy. This means that the VPN will not track or store your information when you\u2019re using the internet.<\/li>\n<li>VPN is a lot faster than free proxies. A VPN service like iProVPN has dedicated proxies for <a href=\"https:\/\/iprovpn.com\/download\/chrome-vpn-extension\">Google Chrome<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/iprovpn.com\/download\/firefox-vpn-extension\">Mozilla Firefox<\/a> browsers so you can view your favorite content, not only on Youtube but popular streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu and Disney, whenever and wherever you are!<\/li>\n<li>A VPN may cost you, but it is worth the investment because it is better to put a price tag on internet safety.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Bottomline\"><\/span>The Bottomline<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A free YouTube proxy may sound free, yet it ends up costing you more than you had bargained for: your data, digital identity, freedom, privacy and overall peace of mind. While there are limited alternatives to such programs, a VPN is the best choice since it will keep you cloaked from snoops and keep your information protected at all times.
