How can I set up my own proxy with YouTube to bypass restrictions? or Is it possible to set up my own

Bro, just use a residential proxy service like Luminati or Smartproxy. They’re built for this stuff and way less likely to get blocked than some DIY setup.

If you’re dead set on DIY, check out DigitalOcean + Squid proxy tutorials. But fair warning—YT’s anti-bot game is strong.

Privacy? Lol no, YT tracks everything. Proxy won’t save you from ads.
