I really hope the answer is "yes," but gosh-darned if I can find one. The FreeTube app still works as long as my VPN is off, but as for Invidious . . . (also, sorry if this has already been covered earlier).

EDIT: Ok, well now it looks like I can get FreeTube to work with some Mullvad locations but not others . . .

Oho? Didn't knew that. Thanks for the info ! Do you know what caused the residential IP block ?

Outside of EU?
To much API calls from the same source?
Something else?

I mean, I don't see way they would block residential IPs with normal api calls from the same source. Or are they full enforcing the account thing on everyone?

I don't know. My ISP doesn't know. And I won't bother interacting with Google's non-existing support.

My solution is moving away from YouTube whenever possible, for instance subscripting to podcast instead when a creator has a podcast with the same content.

Luckily most casts are just an RSS feed so you do not need an special tooling. It is a real shame many are putting their content behind walls like Spotify.
