YouTube on a computer, through a PROXY

Updated

Install Bebra PROXY on Windows, macOS or Linux, then pick a country that suits video. Fastest, Search and Favorites in the app help with that.

Download for your system

Mac users can take the DMG file or the Mac App Store version. Linux gets a DEB package and an AppImage.

Choosing a country for video

Above the grid of countries are two big tiles, Fastest and Random. The grid starts with Countries with the highest speed, followed by Other countries. Click a flag to connect, and click the lit tile again to disconnect. Until you have a subscription, a flag opens the Buy Bebra V⁠PN window instead.

Start with Fastest. If a video takes longer than usual to start, type a nearer country into Search. Connect to a country twice or more within a month and it lands in Favorites, ready for next time.

What the desktop app won’t do

It can’t put a single program, such as your browser, on the PROXY by itself, and Bebra PROXY doesn’t make a browser extension. Nor will video run faster than your own internet connection allows.

YouTube in a desktop browser

Do I need to set anything up in the browser?

No. The browser goes online through the PROXY along with the rest of the computer, so you don’t need to touch the browser’s own proxy settings.

How do I keep some sites off the PROXY while watching YouTube?

Add them under Tunnel → Manual, one per line. Traffic to those sites goes directly, and YouTube stays on the PROXY.
