YouTube won’t let me watch this video with my VPN on. Is this a new thing?

    Dude my van has been breaking a ton of websites lately. I had to turn it off to check the tracking on a package from USPS yesterday. Any time a website is sending me to a broken page, I turn off my vpn and it works immediately.

    I was going to ask because I’m somewhat new to vpns, but I just assumed it was one hassle for privacy. Is this a new occurrence?

      There always have been some sites blocking VPN traffic but it became widespread last 2-3 years.
