Are there any proxies working for the Youtube views?

I would use an SMM service instead of doing it yourself

YouTube's view detection goes way beyond just IP tracking - they analyze behavioral patterns, session duration, playback completion rates, and cross-reference with browser fingerprinting to filter out artificial traffic. You're wasting time with basic proxy rotation since their fraud detection will flag anything that doesn't simulate genuine user engagement metrics across multiple video sessions and watch time distribution patterns.

I'm also trying to increase my YouTube views. Thank you for sharing. I'll try them.

4G or residential work, the thing is that proxies are just a piece of the cake. Device (preferably mobile) and behaviour matter a lot

most proxy-based youtube view methods don't work anymore because youtube doesn't just count ip connections as views. they track engagement signals like watch duration, interaction events, and whether the session looks like a real browser with real user behavior.
if your proxy is connecting but the view counter isn't going up, it's because youtube is filtering the traffic as invalid. a simple proxy with a basic http request won't register.
you'd need a full browser automation setup with realistic watch behavior, and even then youtube actively works to detect and filter automated views. honestly for view counts you're better off using a service that has already figured out the detection bypass rather than trying to build it yourself with raw proxies.

YouTube doesn’t count views based on IP alone. They use advanced systems that analyze watch time, user behavior, engagement signals, device fingerprinting, and traffic patterns.
Simply watching through a proxy usually won’t increase the counter, especially if the activity looks automated or unnatural. In many cases, it’s not about the proxy quality but how the platform validates views.

ouTube counts views based on behavior, session quality and traffic patterns, not just the IP. Most proxy-based views get ignored if the activity looks automated or unnatural.
The proxy type matters less than realistic behavior and volume.

YouTube is really good at filtering that stuff, so a lot of proxy views just don’t count. It’s not really just the proxy, the activity has to look like a real person watching too.

Yeah… this comes up a lot and the replies above are mostly pointing in the right direction.
The short version is that proxies alone stopped being enough a long time ago. YouTube doesn’t really “count a view” just because a new IP loads the video. Their system looks at the whole session. Watch time, how long the player stays active, whether the browser behaves like a real device, navigation before and after the video, interaction signals, etc.
So if someone just rotates proxies and opens the video, the counter usually won’t move. The traffic still hits the video, but it gets filtered as invalid pretty quickly.
Another thing people underestimate is device fingerprinting. If 100 different IPs show up but they all look like the exact same browser, same screen size, same behavior pattern… that’s a red flag instantly.
That’s why setups that actually work usually combine a few things together. Realistic browsing sessions, different device profiles (often mobile), natural watch duration, and traffic that doesn’t hit the video in a perfectly predictable pattern. The proxy is just one piece of that puzzle.
Even with good residential or 4G IPs, if the behavior is robotic the views will still get filtered. I’ve tested a few proxy-only methods in the past and most of the time the analytics show activity but the public view counter barely moves.
So if the proxies you tried didn’t move the counter, it’s not surprising. It’s usually not the IP quality, it’s the lack of realistic session behavior behind it.
