What is YouTube Unblocker?
YouTube Unblocker enables the automatic generation and use of a different, random, primary IPv6 address at regular intervals on your server. This gives your server (and all applications on it) a dynamic IPv6 address that can be used to circumvent YouTube IP bans.
For MP3 Converter or any 3rd-Party YouTube app!
While no additional configuration is required for the MP3 Converter, 3rd-Party downloader apps may require some modification to force IPv6 for YouTube requests. (Note: Our MP3 Converter Pro, YouTube Video Backend, and YouTube Media Converter already have comparable, built-in solutions, so the YouTube Unblocker is not required.)
