Description of issue

When I try using proxy from a free proxy list (hidemyass). It never works. I've also tried other ones, but I don't understand why. Maybe I'm just a noob. But I don't get this at all. I type IP and port. (--proxy 107.17.92.18:8080). It works fine with usual VPN.

[dstftw]

107.17.92.18:8080 is dead as well as most of the free proxies.

[RuneMagle]

Can you maybe refer me somewhere with proxys that work?

[dstftw]

Use tor.

[RuneMagle]

But isn't tor just a browser?

[dstftw]

No.

[RuneMagle]

I just found one that works. But it didn't recognize it. It still said I was outside the US.

Huh...Maybe it's just not meant to work for me...

[dstftw]

It's not an US IP that is clearly stated in error message.

[RuneMagle]

But it says on website that it was United States. I just tried another one, it says the same. Plus, I'm in Denmark. And when I don't use VPN at all. It just says couldn't retrieve files for playback. Not that I'm in another country. https://www.torvpn.com/en/proxy-list

[RuneMagle]

Lol. I guess I'm just gonna keep trying... Thanks for helping! :)

[therohanchawla]

Is there an explanation some where on How to use YouTube DL and Tor

[dstftw]

--proxy socks5://127.0.0.1:9050 if you did not touch its settings.

[RuneMagle]

That command doesn't work with me. ERROR: Unable to download webpage

[yan12125]

@RuneMagle Please check that your Tor server is up and listening port 9050.

[RuneMagle]

I don't understand it. Whatever...

[Mithgol]

@RuneMagle It's actually youtube-dl --proxy socks5://127.0.0.1:9150 because on Windows Tor Browser listens on port 9150.
