YouTube won't let me watch this video with my VPN on. Is this a new thing?

Retropunk64 @lemmy.ml I watch YouTube all the time over Mullvad. It doesn't let me watch on the website without signing in tho.

kusivittula @sopuli.xyz it's an absolute pain in the ass with mullvad. only a few servers like ireland, greece and nigeria work.

benignintervention @lemmy.world I got a sign in prompt over my proton vpn the other day. Refreshed and it was gone
4 0 ReplyRetropunk64 @lemmy.ml Huh, I literally can't use YouTube because it always wants me to sign in.

I got that same prompt in my house ip now, can't use youtube on my TV or anything, I guess it detected my plex server downloading videos since I usually watch from there

ERROR: Earth.exe has crashed @lemmy.dbzer0.com Proton VPN has much more servers... and you are much less likely to get flagged... but there is the CEO controversy... so... 🤷♂️
Pick your poison... 👀
2 1 ReplyRetropunk64 @lemmy.ml I use Proton for email. Don't love the CEOs opinions, so not really interesting in expanding their services. Sticking with the email for now, but we'll see what the future holds.
