There's always someone available to assist you, and sometimes, it's from a foreign location. This is particularly useful when you're trying to unblock videos

You'll be able to agree that it was not feasible for common computer users to connect an VPN connection directly into their routers 20 years ago. This would have enabled them to make Netflix or Amazon pretend to be in another country and then unlock the original video content that is restricted to those countries. Although it might seem like a remarkable achievement of technology but anyone can do this in the present if they choose to. I've personally destroyed two routers. One router was stuck forever updating, and the other wouldn't turn on anymore after I reset the flash bios.

If I'm looking to deblock streaming video online, I normally employ a different set of tools. VPN could help, however, it may not be fast enough for 4k. Also, it might not be able to switch your ISP every few minutes, confusing the source. Youtube includes videos that are geo-locked or restricted to specific nations. This makes it difficult to listen to and download music from other places. Uploaders might wish to restrict the music for their own countrymen or don't have rights to license their music other music other than the source. In these cases, Keepvid and Flvto are my go to helpers. They always find a solution for at least three of the issues. I will move on to the next one fails. I don't always use all three in exactly the same order. Sometimes it is the case that one of them is open in a separate browser tab. So I just start with it. Each has their own benefits in different circumstances and in different geo-locations.

Y2mate is a great tool. It permits you to proxy the video downloads which is extremely useful. It can convert Youtube videos to mp3 format, as well as mp4, and download speeds are speedy. Y2mate is also the most popular website in this field, and is ranked within the top 200 of the most visited websites. You know they are doing something right if people keep coming back. And the site works great and I'm able confirm. Flvto takes over Y2mate's place when they can't get it to work, which is quite often, LOL. It's amazing as it works great with Youtube, and hundreds of other sites. Fltvo offers fast download speeds, and can handle huge Youtube playlists, as well as having a built-in Youtube video search. This allows me to quickly find videos I want even when I don't exactly where they are. Flvto has an auto-suggest feature that is great for your location and gives current popular search tags for suggestions.

Keepvid finally joined the group. But, I don't make use of it often since the other sites tend to take care of every issue. Keepvid is the sole one that provides complete Twitch video downloads. I searched and searched, but could not find any other alternatives. Some apps are ineffective and some sites that claim to do the same thing fail, but Keepvid does it brilliantly. It can download popular videos from Youtube playlists. There are many redirects and some outside ads. They do not appear until you download your video. It's difficult to stop from them. However, this isn't an issue for me, and I prefer Flvto and the other two sites.
