Free YouTube unblockers do not encrypt your internet traffic, leaving you vulnerable to data snooping and theft. Most free unblockers are also supported by ads, making them unsafe since malicious ads can be served via their server. If you’re unblocking YouTube from a censored country, free unblockers expose your identity to your ISP and the government. This data can be used to track you or continue monitoring you via browser fingerprinting and other methods. Conversely, the fee you pay for premium solutions like NordVPN is negligible compared to what they offer you.
