I was watching some instruction videos last night and this morning I was welcomed to this on FreeTube. Maybe they use an internal VPN and youtube block them.

Regardless, when I use my browser to watch youtube instructional videos that do not actually belong to yuotube, I can watch them just fine. I wonder then if there is a way to block youtube so I can finally actually have parental control over that site.

I see this on a daily basis. Switch to another VPN node and you're good. Sometimes it takes a couple times.
