And I’m sure it’s annoying you too. You can’t view a single YouTube video anymore anywhere one is posted, without that stupid notification popping up. Which forces you to have to go to the shitty YouTube site, log in, hope through whatever verification checks that there is and finally, you can watch the video.

Isn’t there a way anymore where people can just link videos and for them to play? Fuck you, Google.

    Commercial VPNs are too inconvenient and saturated these days. It is not 2010 anymore. Every commercial VPN is leveraged by scrapers and other bots. If you use them, expect to face captchas. For the same price as a commercial VPN provider I rent a VPS and run OpenVPN on it. Personal, private, dedicated IPv4.

    You are all nerds, act like it.

      If I could get a VPS for $2/mo for something like this, I would definitely swap off of my VPN provider. If you do a ‘build your own plan’ with Windscribe, it’s $2/month for me, and they easily saturate my symmetrical gigabit connection. Anything close to that price is usually an incredibly small amount of metered bandwidth comparatively. This month I’ve used something like 30tb worth of bandwidth without blinking an eye.
