Many online video sites are restricted to use within the country of origin. This is normally associated with network websites that offer "On Demand" episodes and certain video sites that have limited licensing to show the videos on their site. The easiest, and cheapest, way for users to gain access to these sites is by using a proxy server.
Video Browsing Networks
-
Video browsing networks offer users the chance to browse for their favorite episodes and clips of their selected shows. Many of the largest of these networks are restricted to specific countries. However, popular sites like Veoh Video and Hulu are accessible via proxy.
"On Demand" Network Video Sites
-
These sites are owned and operated by the networks that run the original programming. These websites offer viewers the chance to watch high-quality video streams of the episodes they missed of their favorite shows. Sites that have been proven to work with proxy include Fox, ABC, NBC, CW and the BBC.
Video Sharing Sites
-
Video sharing sites are intended to share videos in an open and free way. However, certain countries may block the websites and specific videos, or the websites' internal geolocational filtering may make it hard to find the videos you're looking for. Users can access YouTube via different proxy filters to gain access to the most popular videos in the U.S., an option not available for users outside of America.
