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

Hey, I’ve been dealing with this too. YouTube blocking proxy access is so annoying, especially when you just wanna watch something without ads.

I’ve had some luck with Tor Browser. It’s slow, but it bypasses YouTube’s blocks most of the time.

Also, try using a combination of VPN and proxy chains. It’s a bit complicated, but it can work if you’re desperate.

Yo, thanks for all the tips, everyone! I tried a few things you guys suggested, and switching servers on NordVPN actually worked for a bit. Still got blocked after a while though.

I’m gonna give Smart DNS a shot—sounds like it might be the way to go. Also, never thought about using the mobile app with a VPN. Gonna try that too.

Thanks again, and if anyone else has more tricks, keep ‘em coming! This YouTube blocking proxy nonsense is still driving me up the wall. Cheers!
