About 2 weeks ago privacy nerds on Reddit began reporting they're unable to watch YouTube videos when using a VPN. YouTube displays a "VPN/Proxy Detected" warning.
Initially it was displayed on desktop computers, however it is now being displayed on mobile devices too. Some users stated they were able to evade the flag when using "Stealth Protocol" with Proton.
