In firefox it has a proxy setting that may work. But not sure if you have to find a separate proxy URL. I don't know about that kproxy site. But I do know that the opera browser has a VPN that you can enable or disable any time you want and you don't have to go into settings.

I have not investigated how opera pulls off this VPN.
One thing about online VPN's like kproxy is you're passing your data through their server there's truly no way to verify they are not viewing your data or they aren't some honey pot thing. Depending on who's encrypting your traffic.

It's an online shortcut, as opposed to finding a proxy IP, and changing your ports within your machine.

Sometime you'll need to check several online proxy sites for your particular application. Geo-blocking is a YouTube thing, mostly for copy written music.

Enabling a proxy on your own machine is not difficult, but for something as simple as a YT vid, it's probably not worth the effort, so an online proxy just to get around a geo block is more than enough.

Later on I'll find one for you that will work for that video, since I'm familiar with the process.

I see that Zorax is recommending installing an entire browser, and Opera is a giant bundle of useless junk for the most part. It is to browsers what Blackberry is to cell phones: old, heavy and crappy. His "VPN" commentary is not accurate. All Opera does is pick out a proxy from thousands, and the corresponding port, and makes it a one click function instead of 3. So d/ling an entire browser suite is a waste of time, and will slow your machine down substantially.
