how's it going everybody welcome back and today i'm going to show you guys how you can use a vpn
to bypass university or work blocks or any other kind of geo-restriction be it a streaming service
geo-restriction or simply a censorship firewall if you're in a censorship or restrictive country now
before we get if at any point you guys would like to check for links to pricing and discounts feel
free to take advantage of them in the description down below as well as full reviews of all the vpns
mentioned today you'll find everything you need in the description down below now i've tested a
couple dozen vpns to figure out which one could be the best choice for you and i've narrowed it
down to these three to make it as easy as possible for you to choose one here and these vpns all have
very good speeds a large network great reliability with regards to obfuscation and bypassing geo
restrictions and of course a no logs policy with plenty of evidence to back all these claims up
again you'll find links to the reviews down below it'll give you more of an in-depth look into the
privacy policy the speed streaming taunting capabilities as well as security and features
so with regards to bypassing uh the geo blocks that you may be finding in your
university or workplace firstly lots of services use geoblocking tools to restrict access to their
content in certain countries the issue is perhaps most commonly associated with netflix's catalog
however it can also apply to videos on social media such as sports clips news
articles and even entire services which are not available outside their country of origin
like hulu or amazon prime or disney plus for example secondly governments often block access to
sites to suit their agenda the twitter block in china is perhaps the most famous example
but you can also notice that if you're in turkey for example you'll notice that you might get your
access blocked to social media in an attempt to quell protests for example back in the 2016
protests and another example is when sri lanka tried to stop access to facebook in the aftermath
of the april 2019 terrorist attacks supposedly to prevent the spread of fake news employers
also often block sites on their internal networks to prevent employees from accessing social media
accounts such as facebook or twitter lastly some countries have odd laws that can restrict
access to certain types of material such as the uk's uh ban on certain websites websites that
are a little bit more explicit i i don't want to talk about it here and germany's crusade against
youtube are two of the most notable cases how do you access these blocked sites if you running to a
restricted site all you need to do is connect to a good and reliable vpn it's the most popular way of
bypassing geo-blocked internet sites and services and vpns have many benefits but from a blocked
site standpoint it's the technology's ability to provide you with an ip address in another country
that's the most important part the foreign ip address makes it appear as though you're
based in a different location thus you won't trigger a site's geo blocks and can
circumnavigate restrictions now as you can tell here i just connected to the new york server
i'm not in new york but if i go to my ip address finder here you'll notice that it
will say that i am actually in new york that's as simple as it gets with regards to bypassing
uh geoblocks some services theoretically block access from vpn ip addresses and that makes
a lot of vpns simply useless when it comes to bypassing geo restrictions that's why i pick these
three most reliable vpns that are able to very reliably uh bypass these geo restrictions though
with regards to uh services such as netflix for example blocking vpn ip addresses which resulted
in a massive game of cat and mouse in which the vpn providers are generally victorious and then
you know the streaming services and uh sites that work specifically to block vpn ip addresses have
to re-block these vpn ip addresses and then the vpns if they're reliable enough they can simply
circumvent such blocks and vpns are incredibly easy to use simply download the app onto your
phone or computer enter your login credentials and choose the network that you want to connect to
it's as simple as it gets so let's say you're looking to bypass these geo restrictions to access
bbc iplayer because it's only available in the uk very simple go to whatever vpn go to locations
and europe the uk and just pick one of these let's just go with london and to just double check
that you're indeed connected to the correct uh region all you need to do is just go to whatever
ip address finder and once you're connected to the vpn just hit refresh let's just see here i should
show as if i'm in london and that's pretty much it now i can access bbc iplayer or whatever other
service or website that is exclusive to the united kingdom and that works with university blocks as
well so if you're in university or if you're in the workplace all you need to do is connect to any
server really and the university will no longer be able to block you because you're using the vpn's
encrypted and secured servers which are well located elsewhere so this is how you can bypass
these geoblocks now how do you know which one of these vpns is the best choice for you it really
depends on what you're looking for so if you're looking for the best of the best
just great privacy very easy to use a quite the premium service really that comes with
a premium price understandably so just go with expressvpn you'll be able to secure up to five
devices with a single subscription you've got over 3000 servers in 94 countries and basic security
features that are available across all three vpns such as the kill switch and split tunneling the
kill switch will stop your internet traffic if the vpn disconnects unexpectedly preventing any leaks
from getting out of your device in the rare event that your vpn disconnects for whatever reason
and split telling will allow to choose which applications are routed through the vpn and
which are not so let's say you're trying to access hulu or whatever it is maybe through
google chrome just for the sake of this example or maybe you're torrenting and
you only want these two applications to use the vpn while the rest of your connection is left
untouched by the vpn tunnel you can do that and vice versa so it's a very useful feature
and you have a handful of protocols you can go with automatic but lightweight udp
in expressvpn specifically is the fastest protocol so i'd like to just stick with that but let's say
you want to secure one more device and you will be getting over 5 400 servers in 60 countries though
instead of 94 countries with expressvpn but it is a little bit cheaper and nordvpn
has exceptional speed thanks to the uh wire guard protocol here the true wire guard protocol called
nord links definitely the one you want to use at all times and you have an ad blocker as well as
specialty servers you get the conventional kill switch as well as an app kill switch which will
close selected apps when you disconnect from the vpn or the connection drops unexpectedly rather
than closing your entire connection as it is with the conventional uh kill switch you get split
telling and an easy way to change your dns with custom dns on office catered servers if you're
in a censorship-heavy country uh though if you're understanding ship every country i'd just rather
that you go with expressvpn it's definitely the best for censorship-heavy countries it's
a plug-and-play vpn no configuration needed just download it and you're good to go now
if you're looking to secure an unlimited number of devices you can go with surfshark which will
allow for that and you have over 3200 servers in 65 countries and you still get specialty servers
you get security features such as the ad blocker the kill switch a handful of protocols you can
go with automatic again or wireguard for the fastest connection bypasser which is essentially
the same as split tunneling and a couple of features that will help you with censorship
uh heavy countries so that's pretty much it really it is as simple as it gets again if you're looking
for the best of the best uh go with expressvpn especially if you prioritize privacy and
anonymity and especially if you're in a censorship heavy country definitely go with express it's a
premium vpn that comes with a premium price so if you're looking for something that's a little bit
cheaper uh about 10 percent faster generally speaking uh and you'll get a whole bunch of
extra bonus features here and there just go with nordvpn if you're looking for the cheapest
possible vpn that gets the job done without necessarily sacrificing too much on privacy
security performance or features for that matter uh you can go with surfer especially if you want
to secure an unlimited number of devices so that's pretty much it if you guys are interested in any
