YouTube doesn't let me watch without turning off my VPN?

I kind of suspect that proton pays a premium to get their IPs whitelisted

YouTube won't let me watch this video with my VPN on.
I dont understand why this happens to people along with "adblocker detected" and i've never had any of these issues on VPN with adblocks.. is this something proper to the US or something ?

If you are using a Free VPN, the would be A LOT of users using that server, so it looks like a denial of service attack from the server's POV.
Even when I used a paid VPN, I still have to try many servers before there is one that works.
When I used ProtonVPN, it was like 50/50 if it worked or not.
When I switched to Mullvad and now to IVPN, who have much less servers to choose from, I have to try like 7 servers before I found a working one, and so far it's been working fine for like the past week.
Its not a new thing. I've noticed it since last year (when I started using VPNs).

I watch YouTube all the time over Mullvad. It doesn't let me watch on the website without signing in tho.
Proton VPN has much more servers... but there is the CEO controversy... so...

I think its because they have like 11000 servers, much more than Mullvad or IVPN.

Where does the "learn more" go to?
Straight to Google Re-Education virtual classroom

What VPN? Haven't seen that yet with Proton
I did get that when I was using Proton, but its much less common on Proton

Are you on Chrome?

This also checks out

Don't have this issue in the US. I blame crappy adblockers/VPNs. UBlock Origin and Mullvad are what you need. Adguard DNS for apps that don't have extension support.

A few months back I got adblocker notifications while using UBlock Origin. I did the update and refresh and it would work again.

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

They do this at times (depends on content) with my paid vpn (proton)

Proton always works for me. I use it to get around geo blocking.

Depends in the VPN. I’m having to use multi-hop now with Freetube but with that turned on it is working consistently for me again.
I spun up my own invidious container and that has made my connection far more consistent.

I've been paying for Proton VPN for a couple years now and I've never been blocked by YouTube.
I'm also using uBlock Origin and Firefox as a browser. YouTube takes like 5-10 seconds to load videos, thanks to their built-in delay timer when ads can't play, but otherwise it works fine.
Honestly, I'd gladly wait 30 seconds staring at a black screen than watch a 10-second ad. So their delay timer is pointless.

Mullvad. It seems like changing the server fixed it.

I get this all the time, especially with Reddit. Using Mullvad.
