    I watch YouTube all the time over Mullvad. It doesn’t let me watch on the website without signing in tho.

      it’s an absolute pain in the ass with mullvad. only a few servers like ireland, greece and nigeria work.

        Huh, I’ll keep that in mind. Usually I just say fuck YouTube and go about my business. 😂

      I got that same prompt in my house ip now, can’t use youtube on my TV or anything, I guess it detected my plex server downloading videos since I usually watch from there

      Proton VPN has much more servers… and you are much less likely to get flagged… but there is the CEO controversy… so… 🤷‍♂️

      Pick your poison… 👀

        I use Proton for email. Don’t love the CEOs opinions, so not really interesting in expanding their services. Sticking with the email for now, but we’ll see what the future holds.
