  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.

        Hmm, I’ve mostly been able to watch age restricted videos. I think it’s a bit of a tortoise and hare scenario. The workarounds eventually get there. I honestly don’t understand all of the technical details
