Youtube Proxy Server

[AtheistAtHeart]

Hey guys,

I Just had a quick question and figured you guys would be the best to ask. Do you know of any proxy servers that actually WORK for watching Youtube videos? I work at a place and they just recently blocked it.

I would appreciate any info!

=)

A more relevant question is "how do I enable my browser to run under a proxy address?". In which case, I'd answer, look at these

How did they block it? A lot of smaller companies will just block you from looking up the DNS address, they don't block the actual IP. This way you would only have to update the hosts file on your computer.

Try this, go to your command prompt and type nslookup youtube.com

What do you get?

Also, you should know that most companies can terminate you if you try to get around their firewalls. Just keep that in mind since it would kind of suck to be fired over stupid you tube videos.

I got

Server: cmchsdc3.cmchs.cmchealthsys.org
Address: 10.35.24.202

Non-Athorittative Answer:
Name: youtube.com
Addresses: 208.65.153.251, 208.65.153.238, 208.117.236.68

And thanks for the concern, but I'll be fine.

They aren't blocking using DNS so that won't work. Your best bet is to do what Pesmerga suggested. Find a reliable proxy server and set up internet explorer to use it.
