According to the YouTube Terms of Service, users under the age of 18 cannot watch NSFW content. There&#8217;s a way around this: you can use a proxy website to reroute videos through a server with no restrictions, allowing you to change the age of your account. You can also use a US-VPN to bypass age verification.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTubes_policy_prohibits_users_under_18_from_viewing_NSFW_content\"><\/span>YouTube&#8217;s policy prohibits users under 18 from viewing NSFW content<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While some online content is inappropriate for younger viewers, YouTube&#8217;s policy prevents users under 18 from viewing NSFW material. This policy may not be age-restricted. It&#8217;s not clear which types of content are considered mature. However, the content that&#8217;s considered NSFW by YouTube will be marked as such. Regardless, it&#8217;s important to know which type of content is considered NSFW and how you can report it.<\/p>\n<p>One way around this is to download third-party applications or websites. These applications or websites allow users to circumvent the age-restriction policy. By using them, you can access age-restricted content. This way, you can watch content that you would not otherwise be able to view. While YouTube doesn&#8217;t explicitly prohibit age-restricted content for children and teens, it is best not to watch these videos without parental supervision.<\/p>\n<p>YouTube&#8217;s policy also imposes other age-restrictions on its videos. For example, if a video contains explicit language, violence, nudity, or vulgar language, it may be rated NSFW. If you&#8217;re under 18 or logged in as an adult, you&#8217;ll get a similar message. Otherwise, you&#8217;ll be unable to watch the video. Fortunately, you can fix this problem by setting your account&#8217;s age to 18 or over. You can also change your password to 18+ and sign in as a member.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Proxy_websites_reroute_video_through_a_server_with_no_restrictions\"><\/span>Proxy websites reroute video through a server with no restrictions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A proxy website reroutes video through a different server to ensure the content is free of age restrictions. The proxy caches the video and routes future requests to that cached version, which saves upstream bandwidth and speeds up video buffering. This method is often used by large content delivery networks. Here are some examples of what proxy websites can do. Listed below are some of the more common uses for a proxy server.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unblock_YouTube\"><\/span>Unblock YouTube<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To unblock YouTube, you must first log in to your account. Then, click on Creative Studio &gt; Video Manager. Select Advanced Settings. Select Age Restrictions and Enable. Once finished, click on Save changes. This will bypass the age restriction on desktop. It is possible to view restricted videos on desktop, but only if you are at least 18 years old. Nevertheless, the method must be used with caution.<\/p>\n<p>If you do not wish to sign in to YouTube as an 18-year-old, you can simply go to the Settings tab and click on the option to change your age. If you are still receiving this message, you may want to sign in as an 18-year-old. This will prevent the age restriction on your account from preventing you from viewing adult videos. However, keep in mind that this age restriction is different from the &#8220;blocked&#8221; YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>Although it is not illegal to bypass network firewalls and change your location, bypassing national censorship may not be. If you want to remain anonymous while watching content on YouTube, a VPN is an excellent option. VPNs protect your online identity and keep you safe from unauthorized sites. It is also very convenient, so consider using a VPN as well. If you need to watch age-restricted content on YouTube, try using a VPN to unblock the site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Change Age Restrictions on YouTube If you&#8217;re under the legal age to view certain content on YouTube, you may wonder how to change age restrictions on YouTube.
