If you're unable to watch something because it's blocked in your region, then you can try using VPN.

VPN is a service where you connect to another computer in another country, and then that computer connects to the site that's blocking you. That way, the site will think that you're coming from that country and thus allow you to view the video.

Usually, the Internet will be slower because you're not accessing sites directly but going through a proxy, but you can turn off the VPN when you don't need it.

Thus, you browse the 'net as you would, and when you see something you want to watch but is blocked, you turn on the VPN (you click a button in the software that's provided), view and/or download the video, then turn off the VPN after.

VPN service is monthly but every year, some sites offer promos for that and other services and software. Here's an example:

https://sharewareonsale.com/

So if you search around for software promos, giveaways, etc., you'll find offers (usually during holidays) that offer steep discounts. The promos come and go, and some return every season.

For example, I was able to get a lifetime subscription for one VPN service for only around $20.
