Use a VPN — download one of the VPN applications from the App Store, Google Play, or the official website (for example, Mullvad, Amnezia, Psiphon, RedShield). Install the application and turn on the VPN by selecting a server in another country. Instructions for using each specific VPN service are most often already built into the application itself. 2. Install a special browser — to watch videos on YouTube, you can use a separate browser with an integrated VPN, for example, Brave Browser. In this case, there is no need to constantly turn the VPN on and off when switching between blocked and open sites. 3. Change DNS — on your phone or computer, you can change the DNS server to 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare) or 8.8.8.8 (Google): ⁃ On your phone: find the Wi-Fi settings → select your network → enter the new DNS manually. ⁃ On your computer: in the network settings, specify the DNS in the “IPv4” section. 4. Download videos in advance: install a video download app (for example, 4K Video Downloader) or enable offline mode in the official YouTube Premium app. -- Pastukhovskaya Kitchen YouTube channel: / @pastukhov_kitchen Vladimir Pastukhov's Telegram channel: https://t.me/v_pastukhov Dmitry Elovsky's Telegram channel: https://t.me/delovsky Problems with YouTube?
