from pytubefix import YouTube

proxy = {
    "http": "socks5://proxy_address",
    "https": "socks5://proxy_address"
    }

url = "url"

yt = YouTube(url, proxies=proxy)
print(yt.title)

ys = yt.streams.get_highest_resolution()
ys.download()

Thanks. But I want to know how use private proxies with username and password. How can I do this?

with a username and password

{
    "http": "socks5://user:pass@socks5.example.com:1080",
    "https": "socks5://user:pass@socks5.example.com:1080"
}

    "http": "socks5://socks5.example.com:1080",
    "https": "socks5://socks5.example.com:1080"

Sorry, but that's exactly what I did. What should I do if I get the error "The destination computer rejected the connection request"?

I had the same error when using a free VPN, YouTube itself worked without problems, but I couldn't download anything through pytube. After buying a paid VPN/Proxy everything worked as it should.

My proxy is private. What can I do? (I paid for this)

Does YouTube itself work through your proxy?

Yeah, bro. It works.

I suggest you try changing socks5 to http(s), in most cases you can do this on the website of the proxy you bought. And I want to make sure, are you using an IPv4 proxy?
