[Bug] Google blocking videos again (please sign in) #4972

Closed mooleshacat closed 1 month ago

Describe the bug

It appears that it is possible YT stepped up it's game. Just now every video I click on shows the "please sign in" message. It was just working all day up until seconds ago.

Either that, or they've blanket blocked VPN services. My instance uses a VPN because otherwise they'd just ban my naked IP.

Update: it must be the VPN block because after switching around getting blocked still , eventually I hit a VPN IP in the US that works. Maybe the signature helper or po-token stuff needs to be looked at again, somehow I am being detected and blocked.

@mooleshacat It's not a VPN block. The same thing happened to me starting today on my locally hosted private instance which is on a residential IP address from Xfinity.
