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

Honestly, unless you’re super into tinkering, just use a VPN. Setting up your own proxy with YouTube is a hassle.

But if you’re set on it, try Shadowsocks. It’s faster than most proxies and harder to detect.

Just google "Shadowsocks setup guide"—plenty of tutorials out there.
