    Every video fails to play, the only solution I’ve been recommended SK far is to disable my VPN but I don’t want to for privacy reasons.

      Did you try switching your VPN to a different country? Mine nearly always fails when my VPN points at my home country. But it nearly always works when I connect to another.

          That sucks.

          A thing you can do is change the endnode of your VPN. Some smaller countries are not blocked but your connection will be slower.

          For a while a hammered the reconnect button until it worked but at this point I just went with split tunneling.

          I think freetube let’s you configure proxys. Maybe that could be another way to attack the problem

      Oh, that’s cause YouTube is blocking a lot of unsigned requests (from non-logged users). I have my own VPN on a popular VM provider and it’s blocked too.

      Not really a newpipe fault, and not much to be done unfortunately.
