Hi, What client software were you proxying with socks ? Could it be Firefox ? I was quite surprised once to see that by default firefox did *not* proxy the dns queries through socks. I had to set some advance option to force that. This could explain your situation : the DNS of the public wifi hotspot sent you to youtube servers close to you, not the ones close to your server.
