In light of the earlier tutorial about using VPN to avoid YouTube ads, let’s share our experiences about which VPNs work for this purpose.

If you are successfully using VPN to avoid YouTube ads:

  • Which VPN service provider are you using?
  • Is it free or paid?
  • If paid, how much are you regularly paying, or how much did you pay in a lump sum for how much service?
  • Which VPN server location(s) on the YouTube-ad-free country list are offered by your VPN service provider?
  • Which VPN server location(s) have you tried and found to provide ad-free YouTube?
  • How would you review your experience with your VPN service provider?

Thanks.

I just change my IP to Albania or Mongolia, no ads allow their;)

4

The bahamas or Albania works for me.

I sent chat request to discuss

I am not aware of any VPN/DNS based Adblocker that properly works for this application.

But if you do find one, I would be very happy to learn.

AdGuard VPN

I bought a 5 year subscription at a very attractive price. (Google “AdGuard 5 years”, first link)

I use Russia and there are no ads on Instagram and YouTube.

Thanks for the tutorial in your previous post. I am here to share my experiences which works for me.

  • Which VPN service provider are you using?
    • Windscribe
  • Is it free or paid?
    • Paid
  • If paid, how much are you regularly paying, or how much did you pay in a lump sum for how much service?
    • $3 per month. I chose the “Build a Plan” plan which allows you customise which country you want
  • Which VPN server location(s) on the YouTube-ad-free country list are offered by your VPN service provider?
    • Choose according to the list of countries provided by you. I chose Albania and Russia.
  • Which VPN server location(s) have you tried and found to provide ad-free YouTube?
    • Both

    • So far so good

VPN won’t really help you. It’s their DNS that does it. Which you can change yourself. Or use ad blockers.

Have you tried BluePlayer if you on iPhone? No ads , no need to deal with vpn.

  1. Surfshark
  2. Paid (but it is one of the cheapest VPNs and I’m currently in a free trial)

  4. albania, armenia, bahamas, belize, bhutan, brunei, myanmar, uzbekistan, and so on
  5. Belize and Bhutan (my current location because it also allows me to download videos for offline use)
  6. so far, very good

Or Revanced extended

Which VPN service provider offers those?

Can you please check if Russia is also offered?

14

It’s not that they are not allowed, but that advertisers aren’t spending money on this countries…

15

Great. Would you mind sharing which VPN service provider offers you those options?

16

Responded to chat asking for more information

17

Please read the linked tutorial.

18

Would you mind checking the other countries on the ad-free list to see which other ones AdGuard VPN offers? Thanks.

An easy way to do this is to feed both lists into ChatGPT and ask for the common elements.

19

Even Estonia, added recently with the other two Baltic States by AdGuard in its VPN, works well (but only on mobile, because this country is officially included in the YT monetized countries list, so it could be just a bug or something similar)

Thank you for the detailed response.
