youtube-dl is a great program because it has lots of features, but how do you download a youtube video that's geo-blocked? When I use a VPN add-on in Watefox I can view the video, but youtube-dl won't download it. Thanks. Have a nice day.

Same way as any other application - by using system wide VPN or a proxy.

Google how to use VPN on your OS. For proxy: --proxy.
