Freetube is working again!
FreeTube - The Private YouTube Client
A massive thanks to @LuanRT for providing the fix regarding to the extraction of the deciphering functions. Also, big thanks to @PikachuEXE for coming up with a potential alternative solution!
I'm not understanding why it doesn't work when I turn on my VPN, though. Is there a way to watch Youtube and have the VPN on?
Yes, that should work, I believe, though I am no expert. I watch YT via Freetube with my VPN on most of the time, and right now too. I use Mozilla VPN if that matters and have it connected to just some other US city, but as always, YMMV.
I'm using Private Internet Access. It's weird, because as soon as I turn it on, FreeTube fails to play anything.
It works via my VPN. Maybe switch it to a different location?
Do you know of a working exit country/location? I've tried a few different locations with no dice, but if I know there is one that works for someone else, I'll certainly try that.
If you are from a Western country, use smaller, non-English speaking countries.
Thanks. It seems maybe Italy works for the moment anyway.
