The UltraSurf extension requires manual installation. You will probably get a message which says that the extension will not be activated until you restart Firefox go ahead and continue with the next step before restarting. Saving YouTube videos like these requires Firefox, UltraSurf, the free FlashGot extension and the free UltraSurf extension.įlashGot will install via Firefox’s built-in add-on system, which is kind of like an App Store or Android Market for the browser.
If you’d prefer to use Firefox instead of IE, read the section below. The next time you start IE, you’ll be back to your normal, proxy-free surfing! The software will close all your IE windows.
When you’ve finished watching your video(s), just click the “Exit” button in UltraSurf. In most cases, you won’t need to do anything else, other than enter the URL of the video you want to watch into the address bar: UltraSurf hooks in to Internet Explorer and automatically opens a browser window for you. When you do that, you’ll see this on your screen: There’s no setup or installation routine: just download the app, unzip it, close Internet Explorer (if open) and double-click the unzipped EXE file. This is the easiest proxy server app I’ve ever seen. You can click here to download a free program called UltraSurf. WATCHING GEOGRAPHICALLY-RESTRICTED VIDEOS So how can you watch these blocked videos? Is there a way you can save them to your local computer, so you don’t have to jump through a bunch of hoops later? As you can see from the screen cap, the video was only available to British IP addresses (they have since lifted that restriction). And just yesterday their record label released the video for their new single, “Tonight”. One of my favorite bands, Saint Etienne, is based in the UK. Although this could be for political reasons, it’s usually all about the Almighty Dollar… or, in my case, the Almighty Pound Sterling. If you’re outside the United States, you’ve probably seen this message on YouTube before:Īs the error message says, it’s a geographic restriction, meaning that the Copyright Cops in one country don’t want people in your country watching the video.
