Topic: No more YouTube buffering (probably Americans only).

Have fast internet, but you still have to wait for YouTube videos to buffer? This is for you!

If you have to wait for YouTube videos to buffer despite your fast internet, it's basically because there is a shitty server between your computer and Google's servers. Once you block that shitty server, YouTube videos will load instantly.

Follow this tutorial, and block the IP address below. http://www.studyblog.net/2011/10/block-ip-address-or-ip-range-in-windows-server-2008-by-windows-firewall/

206.111.0.0/16

You can also block the IP address in your router so all your devices will get instant YouTube, just Google "block ip in router".

This worked for me and many others, but ofc I can't guarantee it will work for you.

If the above still leads to slow loading video, blocking 108.162.0.0/16 might help.

I used this guide a while ago, which blocks that IP and another one (173.194.55.0), and it improved playback on some videos but seemingly not on others.

Better slow it down with an inverted polarity time warp bacon burger.
