I was watching some instruction videos last night and this morning I was welcomed to this on FreeTube. Maybe they use an internal VPN and youtube block them.
Regardless, when I use my browser to watch youtube instructional videos that do not actually belong to yuotube, I can watch them just fine. I wonder then if there is a way to block youtube so I can finally actually have parental control over that site.
You must log in or # to comment.
I see this on a daily basis. Switch to another VPN node and you’re good. Sometimes it takes a couple times.
Are you using ipv6? This happened to me, but switching to only ipv4 fixed it.
Oh that’s interesting. With IPV6 they are able to block you internal IPs?
There are no internal IPs with IPv6. All devices get a unique a pool of global IPs. You can enable the IPv6 privacy extension to rotate through IPs every N min etc.
This all being said this all might be unrelated. Just wanted to comment because IPv6 is like SELinux in the sense that turning it off is almost never the correct answer.
Turning off ipv6 is always the answer.
My ISP doesnt even support ipv6 so it is off everywhere
What’s FreeTube?
Its a YouTube video watching app. Imagine the YouTube app on your desktop but open-source and no ads.
Ah, like NewPipe.
Yes
