Why is YouTube blocking proxy access and how can I bypass it?

Ugh, YouTube blocking proxy access is so annoying. I’ve been using Surfshark, and it’s been hit or miss.

One trick I’ve found is to use a combination of VPN and a proxy extension like Hola. It’s not foolproof, but it works for me most of the time.

Also, try using a different browser. Firefox seems to handle VPNs better than Chrome for some reason.
