Comment on Is there still anyway to bypass Youtube "Sign in to confirm your age" bullshit in 2026?

  No it doesn’t. I’m using it right now without an account.

    Is it regional or something? Videos are still blocked for me:

      Nothing can bypass age restricted videos AFAIK.

        There do appear to be a couple services that use their own accounts (see here), but in general, that was my understanding too.

      I use it with Mullvad. When I hit a block, I reconnect to a different server, and that usually fixes it.

        I’ve found that works with the “Are you a bot?” blocks, but never the age restrictions.

  PipePipe allows me to watch videos without signing in that ask for “sign in to confirm you’re not a bot” on the normal YouTube interface.

  There may be videos that are age-restricted or otherwise account-locked that it can’t access I think, but I haven’t run into them.

    The age restricted videos like what OP asked about are unfortunately pretty common with topics like history, or games - anything that may have any amount of violence. So far as I know, the only way to bypass them is by proxy.
