Info How to Bypass Imgur's VPN Blocks and View Images

[Arnox]

Note that this doesn't enable you to log in to Imgur, view an image's comments, or view a bunch of images at once.

It's pretty simple. Get the image URL. Let's use https://i.imgur.com/8I242Hq.jpeg for our example. Now go to https://catbox.moe, click Upload via URL, and then just paste the image URL and hit Go! Then copypaste the resultant catbox link into your browser address bar. Done.

Now if only I knew a simple way to view Youtube videos when on VPN. Sometimes, I don't want to deal with a vid in my history

Just view them while logged out and in a private window.

That though, very annoyingly, won't work for age-restricted videos. You can also delete videos from your watch history if you like.

Oh right. Yeah, there's that too. Didn't know there was a front-end for imgur.

It's not terribly simple, and it might not be considered 'viewing', but you could perhaps download it with yt-dlp instead.

Stopped using imgur when they implemented when you right-click to view the image it redirects you to the site instead of the image URL

May as well have clicked a URL shortener link

I right click on the first image at https://imgur.com/gallery/i-asked-frenchman-if-he-played-video-games-he-said-wii-OtqLv6V , choose View Image and get https://i.imgur.com/U8tQjaP.jpeg ...? Is that not how it works for you, or not how you mean?

Yeah, that is the direct image url but when I click it I get sent to https://imgur.com/U8tQjaP

Ah, yeah. The same. Shame.

Why do you think I'm complaining? That's exactly what I used to do. I want something about that simple, and Houseman's suggestion is probably as simple as I will be allowed.
