ProxTube is a handy Chrome extension designed to bypass country-specific YouTube video restrictions. With a simple click on the toolbar icon, users can activate or deactivate the proxy to unblock videos that are otherwise inaccessible in countries like Germany, Netherlands, or Spain.

The extension routes video requests through a proxy server only when needed, and automatically deactivates the proxy upon leaving YouTube, ensuring a smooth browsing experience without constant proxy use. While ProxTube is not compatible with US users, it offers reliable support via their website and Twitter in English and German.
