I used the first then deleted the rule and tried with the other IPS. I replaced it with this command. I'm not sure if I did the IP range right. or should it be 173.194.55.1:173.194.55.255?

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="MITCHRIBARYTUBE" dir=in action=block remoteip=173.194.55.1,173.194.55.255 enable=yes



tried, no dice :to:

I saw someone post and say that they may use different caches for different part of the countries. this shyt is wack. how am I gonna pay for cable and they throttle my youtube speeds. My youtube buffers faster if I use a proxy.

if you get it let me know. I have Uverse too and I cant seem to get it to accept

is there a fix for the ipad?

You can also block the IP addresses with your router so you don't have to do this on every device in your home
Yeah i need answers to these if possible. My router doesnt have an option to block a particular ip, so i need to go device to device or buy a new router.

If you know how to block on ipad and PLAYSTATION that would be PHENOMENAL

UVerse is trash brehs. I wouldn't pick that service unless I had absolutely no other providers available in my area.

To anyone asking questions:

No this is not illegal. Yes it works as far as I know (U-Verse here, both IP Ranges blocked.) Yes, you can easily reverse this.

If you have a router, block it there to get your whole network. If not, you can do it per device. Easiest in Windows is the hosts file (you'll need admin permissions). Droid users need root and Droidwall or Terminal. OSX users need temrinal. Linux users should use terminal.

I doubt you can IP block with the PS3 to posters above, just use your router.

Props for sharing this, it definitely made the vids load faster and play smoother in hd.

check to see if your router is compatible with dd-wrt or tomato firmware

either of those would allow you to do this without getting a new router

I have no real need for this. I got a DL fetcher for anything on Youtube as it is. Good to know it worked out.

Just applied it on my Verizon router. Streamed 2 vids simultaneously on two devices with no start/stop buffer. Nature hasn't looked so beautiful. :whew: I'll have to test again during peek hours to see if its really working.
