  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
