There can be few people who haven’t visited or heard of the video sharing site YouTube – especially since the recent take over by the internet giant Google. Since it’s creation in 2005, YouTube has become one of the most popular destinations for people wanting a few moments of video entertainment. In fact I know of a couple of people who watch it instead of TV.

It has become so popular that some organisations and businesses see it as a threat to the productivity of their workers and so they prevent people from accessing the site through their internet connection. This is quite common in schools and offices.

View YouTube is a site that helps you to get around this.

It explains how to use a proxy server (a site allows you to view YouTube through their server) to indirectly view video content. This type of utube proxy effectively unblocks the restrictions that some networks apply.
