@neutronstar @protonprivacy No, I did not. I‘m not ambitious enough to try out too many other VPN servers or — worse yet — sign into anything I don’t want to sign into. I should have imagined access to be straightforward, i.e. w/o having to jump through “hoops” first, Here”s the result using a CH server…

@1P1sces @protonprivacy I’m not too good at German but I think that says ”sign in to prove you’re not a bot”. This is a common side effect of using a vpn as Google tries to block access to vpn ip addresses. The solution is to change vpn server, that’s what I do when I get this message at least. The side effect of privacy is most often convenience, sadly. Don’t be too worried about jumping vpn servers though. You’re right to be sceptical but this is, as usual, Google shenanigans. Hope it works out for you!

@1P1sces @neutronstar @protonprivacy try using an invidious instance: https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?__goaway_challenge=js-refresh&__goaway_id=3e73552d64e60bcd34b25d7c26a31a24&__goaway_referer=https%3A%2F%2Finv.nadeko.net%2F&v=bugB0sA7FcA Nevertheless a peertube would've been a better solution. (I haven't yet seen the video)
