Using OpenVPN with NAT IPv4

[johnlth93]

It's just youtube's geolocation being silly.


I'm Dutch, but get the german youtube when using my vpn. Everything else on the internet understands that the ip of the vps is in the Netherlands.

Get one LES @ UK and you should be fine.

This is most likely the reason why it won't work. I would ask Anthony for a change to the uk node instead of the NL one. Ask on lowendspirit forum and I'm sure it will be ok if there is room on the UK node.

This might be a good solution for the OP, for me it won't be necessary, I only use this vpn when I'm on the go accessing the internet through shady unprotected wifi. (I'm actually very happy with the service )

Hello,

So first thanks for your answers! I searched a bit and wikipedia says that vevo.com should be available from Netherlands, thats why I think I should be able to watch the Vevo videos on youtube too. I tested it, at vevo.com I can watch the videos over my VPN. From Germany not.

I think it's a geolocation bug from YouTube.

@ the dutch people, can you watch this video:

In germany and with the VPN I can't.

That video loads just fine for me.

With my NL VPN I can't watch it, as usual it says something like "This video is not available from Germany because some problems with the GEMA"

Post a request on Lowendspirit forum if you change from NL to UK. The latency wouldn't matter much for watching youtube.

I got banned there because I linked a file upload (I think thats why). Have to wait until I get unblocked (if this happens ). Till then I try to get it working.

I'll unban in a few minutes.

I bought a 2nd UK server and YouTube works perfectly from this, so the problem is solved Thanks for all your great answers!

Short update: tried to download the youtube video, which didn't work via VPN, with youtube-dl (http://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/download.html) and it worked. I don't get it

From you NL vps?


Probably because it goes straight to the source and doesnt load the part from youtube that checks for the country.


Try it from home and see if it works there aswell.

I tried it with my german VPS, didn't work. It said something with GEMA.
