On stock and VPN with no problems with Newpipe and YouTube don't even split tunnel either.

I'm using Bitdefender VPN also using zero.dns0.eu private DNS as a DNS check showed Bitfender use cloudflare DNS servers

DeletedUser265 Bitdefender VPN

That's not an actual VPN, based on quick research they're reusing hotspot shield VPN which I suspect does some sus things with their network that's used to route the traffic. Hence you're not getting flagged by yt.

Thank you for advising me, Ive uninstalled Bitdefender VPN and installed Proton Free VPN.

Scott

moreover, Bitdefender VPN is not recommended by any single privacy and security expert. Strange choice of a VPN provider.

Thanks for clarification.

I'd already had Bitdefender AV installed on my PC and took advantage of a discounted VPN package.
Ive also replaced Bitdefender VPN with Proton free VPN.
nb using different email address on mobile and pc

It looks like YT started blocking VPN users even on stock Android devices with YT app. It is annoying but easily fixed so far by disconnecting and reconnecting your VPN connection. YT is just trying to do their best to find out your true location for showing you targeted ads.

You are logged in on stock Android and stock Youtube app with Google account? But you still get a captcha? Can others confirm this?

Youtube is useless for me because I have to solve a captcha before every video. I use Mullvad Browser with adblocker.

I'm thinking about buying “Google TV Streamer (4K)” and logging in with a Google account. But that won't work either because my entire network is rerouted via OpenWrt Wireguard Tunnel?

Please give me more information. I am desperate.

YouTube only blocks certain IPs, it is still possible and relatively easy to use YouTube with a VPN enabled. It works without a google account

You block ads or not?
You are on stock Android or Graphene?

DeletedUser313

Scott

Yes I block ads, I'm on a typical manufacturer's OS that isn't Pixel or a custom ROM. It works on both Brave and Firefox

Scott

DeletedUser313 how you block ads?

DeletedUser313

Scott

Brave native adblock or Firefox's uBlock, both work
