How to unblock youtube using Zenmate chrome proxy

So coming back to the point, how to unblock youtube in Pakistan. There are certainly many ways to do that, but the one I recommend here today is very simple one and easy to setup by not so pro with computer people. And above all, it’s free of ads! what a relief ! isn’t it ? It’s by using zenmate proxy on google chrome. In this post we’re going to discuss how to install zenmate on google chrome!

7. Change location for Zenmate chrome proxy

When I installed the plugin on my mac os x , it showed hongkong, China as the proxy city and country. Click on “change location” and then change it to USA (end of the list) so that the websites you open, load in english, not in chinese, as some websites (including youtube.com) have local versions of the websites which open in their language.

Hope this helps you getting more marks in your exams :) remember me in your prayers!
