Free proxies are a disaster for yt dlp scrape videos proxy setups. I’ve been using GeoSurf, and it’s been a lifesaver. A bit pricey, but it works like a charm.

For yt-dlp errors, try adding `--no-check-certificate` to your command. Sometimes the SSL certs on proxies mess things up.

Also, make sure your proxy supports the right protocol. YouTube requires HTTPS, so double-check that.
