When I visit the page https://check.torproject.org/, it says my configuration is successful and I see different ip address. From that point I assume everything should work properly but if I try to browse web sites that are blocked in my country such as youtube it just does not connect. However if I use VPN I can see those blocked web sites. It is likely because the exit your client chose was blocked by either youtube or by someplace in its path to youtube. You may try 'signal NEWNYM' / 'new identity' controller function, or 'ExitNodes' configuration option as in the docs / search engine.
