YouTube: We’re sorry, this video is no longer available
Friday, August 1st, 2008
Have you ever tried waching a video on YouTube and gotten the message “We’re sorry, this video is no longer available”?
If you are a South African and using Telkom then your answer probably is yes.
The problem arrise from transparent proxies SAIX pushes all traffic through. This results in your connection to the site having a different IP each time, and then this can be seen as a hacking attempt of some sort.
Some forums out there operate on the same principal, say you are logged in and your IP changes you are then automatically logged out.
Good news is there is a work arround. You can use a fixed proxy, that will result in you having the same IP address each time you load a page.
To make use of this simply edit your browser proxy setting and add cache.saix.net:8080 as the server and port.
Now you should be able to browse sites uninterupted.
