Description

You'll agree that 20 years ago, it was almost impossible for anyone to install a VPN connection on their router. This would make Netflix or Amazon think they were in another country and make all original content on video only for that country. This is an impressive feat of technology, but anyone can achieve it today, if they have enough willpower and determination. You could have to dispose of your router if you mess around with hardware at that scale. I've destroyed two routers. One of them was stuck for a long time while the other won't turn on after I refresh the flash bios.

To unlock online videos I recommend using another set of tools. VPN is effective, however it could be too slow to download 4k videos or switch your IP every few seconds, confusing the source of the video. Youtube includes videos that are geo-locked or restricted to specific nations. This makes it hard to listen to and download music from other locations. The uploaders are either trying to restrict their music to their own countrymen or don't have the licensing rights to utilize other sources of content. In any case my go-to helpers for such instances include Y2mate, Flvto and Keepvid. They appear to have an answer for every problem. If one of them is not working, I simply go to the next. They don't need to be used in the same order. Sometimes, one is open in a different tab, so I use it. Each has strengths in different situations.

Y2mate is great, it allows proxying of the video download, which is very helpful sometimes. It can also convert Youtube videos to mp4 format. Download speeds are great and Y2mate consistently ranks among the top 200 most-visited websites. The site is fantastic. Flvto takes over Y2mate's place in the event that they fail to make it work and that's often, LOL. It's amazing because it is compatible with Youtube, and many other websites. Fltvo allows very quick downloads, it can work with large Youtube playlists, and it has built-in Youtube video search that is very convenient to use when I'm not careful to copy video URL, or don't know where to locate the video. Now I know: Flvto's search function will assist users in finding their location. Also, it has auto-suggest which is great.

Finally Keepvid joins the ranks I don't make use of it frequently, as the other two sites typically solve the issues. Keepvid remains the only place to download full length Twitch videos. I looked on the web for alternative ways to download the videos, but could not find it. Apps are no longer useful and other sites claim to offer it but fail, but Keepvid excels at it. It integrates using Youtube playlists and allows you to download popular videos. However, it does have a lot of redirects, and in recent times very numerous ads from outside, they don't show up until you're in the middle of getting your video, so it's difficult to stop them.. However, for the most part, this isn't a problem for me, and I tend to use the other 2 websites, and Flvto is almost completely harmless currently.. Hope 1 of these 3 amazing tools will help you with your audio and video conversion and download needs in the future.
