Hi all. Started fiddling with ytdlp about 20 hours ago. Trying to download a certain video from Youtube, and it's geo blocked in my country.

The command I used is:

yt-dlp -x --audio-format m4a --embed-thumbnail --add-metadata --parse-metadata "uploader:RiseAgainst" --geo-bypass-country US -o "C:\Users\HP\Music\Download this shit motherfucker\%(title)s.%(ext)s" "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pn-6eOxnEMI"

Output is:

ERROR: [youtube] Pn-6eOxnEMI: The uploader has not made this video available in your country

This video is available in Puerto Rico, United States.

You might want to use a VPN or a proxy server (with --proxy) to workaround.

Problem is, I don;t know how to do this? Can't find a valid/trustworthy US proxy address, and can't find clear instruction on how to run VPN in CMD.

Mind, I am no programmer or IT-inclined person, so it could be pretty simple and I just can't get my head out my ass.

Thanks for the help in advance.
