YouTube not loading videos on BG servers

Recommended Posts

YouTube needs login to watch videos on AirVPN Bulgarian servers. Can someone else confirm this problem or is it just me ! Thanks !

No issues for me with YoutTube on Bulgarian servers (or any others). My setup: macOS with LibreWolf (with uBlock Origin addon). I am using DNS filtering from AirVPN with a few lists too.

Same issue with Stockholm and Tallinn servers. I've been using FoxyProxy to watch videos through a proxy which isn't optimal..

Interesting - I too get this error on these servers. I have bad routing on Swedish servers that's why I have not whitelisted this Country in Eddie. Never saw this error before on any other servers (countries). @Viaica: why not use another country then for YT?

Tallinn and Stockholm servers are the best and fastest for me. But I have been using Latvian servers more and more recently, they had their IP's refreshed this year so they are not (yet) blacklisted in Youtube and other places, I just fear that they will also blocked sometime in the future.
Maybe changing the VPN servers' IPs regularly in general would help to circumvent these blocks.

Keep in mind Google rolls out YT features by using A/B testing. Only a small percentage of users will be affected at any time. You can try to delete the entire browsing history and see if this forces Youtube to see you as a different user and opt-out of the tests.

Tallinn and Stockholm servers are the best and fastest for me. Lately, I’ve been using Latvian servers more often, as their IPs were refreshed this year and are not blacklisted by YouTube and other sites yet. However, I worry they might get blocked in the future. Regularly changing VPN server IPs could be a good strategy to avoid such blocks.

I've been getting the same error lately on any NL server I've tried. Using a new Firefox profile doesn't help. Same with yt-dlp:

% yt-dlp --list-formats <youtube_url>
[youtube] Extracting URL: <video_id>
[youtube] <video_id>: Downloading webpage
[youtube] <video_id>: Downloading ios player API JSON
[youtube] <video_id>: Downloading web creator player API JSON
ERROR: [youtube] <video_id>: Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot. This helps protect our community. Learn more
Still works fine on servers from other countries.

Same issue for me on most Dutch, some US and German servers.
Seems to be general ban on these airvpn IPs?

At the moment I cannot make any Dutch server work (well, technically they work but demanding to log in is going beyond their usual security measures). Some other countries work

The same here : all dutch servers failed to play youtube video, since several weeks. Belgium, German, norway and others are ok.
