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

      It does, I’ve found Albania, Estonia and Nigeria skip the issue at least. If anyone else got server recommendations that work feel free to drop! I should probably clarify that my Mullvad connection is a barebones Wireguard one running on top of Tailscale

      Sometimes the more commonly used servers like UK start working for a few hours/days but that never lasts. The 3 listed are basically bulletproof in my experience though

      And yea, using a frontend will not bypass this. Unless that frontend is an online downloader like Cobalt.tools or amp4.cc. Or Invidious I guess but that… Has its own issues

      This maybe affects Mullvad so strongly cause they never bother hididng/swapping their server IPs and don’t have a particularly large plethora of them unlike competitors?
