How do I use youtube-dl with a proxy?
Do you have any proxy links for me?

[Baldrick]

Just add the

--proxy URL

and replace the URL with a working proxy address.

You have to find free proxies yourself....most doesn't work.

Thank you Baldrick

I thought that already. That's the reason why I asked here. It's very hard to find a good one.

Is it possible to use 2 different proxies with youtube-dl: one for getting links, another one for downloading? The problem is that the proxy, properly working with geo-blocking, is slow. Most fast proxies are not suitable for getting links, but work perfectly at downloading stage (due to less strict geo-blocking measures).

--geo-verification-proxy URL

may do what you want. I haven't tried it, though.

Thank you, I'll try it.
