YouTube won’t let me watch this video with my VPN on. Is this a new thing?

    If you are using a Free VPN, the would be A LOT of users using that server, so it looks like a denial of service attack from the server’s POV.

    Even when I used a paid VPN, I still have to try many servers before there is one that works.

    When I used ProtonVPN, it was like 50/50 if it worked or not.

    When I switched to Mullvad and now to IVPN, who have much less servers to choose from, I have to try like 7 servers before I found a working one, and so far it’s been working fine for like the past week.

    Its not a new thing. I’ve noticed it since last year (when I started using VPNs).
