So, you’ve found that Youtube is blocked? How terrible! As luck would have it, it is possible to bypass the school filter and get on Youtube anyway.

The best way to get access to Youtube at school is to use an unblocking website. (Also called a Proxy) You can get on all other blocked sites by using this method. There are links to unblockers at the bottom of this page.

What is an unblocker?

Unblockers are like a gateway that pass information between the computer you’re on and the site you’re trying to visit. The unblocker goes to the site on your behalf, loads the page, and sends it on to you. So the site you want to access only sees the unblocker’s IP. So in effect you are browsing websites indirectly. School firewalls only think you are visiting the unblocker, not the site you actually want.

A little advice for using unblockers for Youtube

It’s better to find an unblocking site that isn’t used much. This is because popular unblockers will get discovered and blocked sooner . Unblockers that you find by doing a search will be filtered sooner because they’re so easy to find. Even if you find a good one it’s always wise to have an alternative you can use if it gets blocked.

An alternative way to unblock Youtube at school is by setting up your own unblocker site. This is harder than using an unblocker but better in the long run because you’re in control. How to do this is beyond the scope of this article, if you do a search for “How to make your own proxy” you should find help. You can even make some money from letting people use it through advertising.

Some other ways to unblock Youtube include by using sites that translate pages , like Google Translate or Babelfish. Also try Google’s cached copy of the site. Unfortunately, it won’t let you to log in using these methods , so it’s still better to use an unblocker for Youtube, however these tricks work well for many other sites.
