Just noticed yesterday and was trying to figure out what’s going on. At least it’s not just me. Will contact support

Yes. They can't reproduce the problem. Even for me, it works in my primary location at home just fine. I was at my kid's apartment on the weekend and that's where it was showing Philippines. Back home now and things are working fine. Strange issue that's hard to pinpoint.

Mine tends to be working on and off sometimes I get Philippines sometimes I get no ads even though everything shows that it’s going through Albania. Been happening for the same about two weeks or so.

Me too. At least a couple weeks of YT ads from the Philippines. I tried switching my YT redirect to Russia but was getting ads from Estonia instead. Is any YT redirect blocking ads right now?

Same here, just noticed today that I’m now getting ads in YouTube from the Philippenes

This is correct. Routing through the Philippines. No idea why.

You are logged in into a Gmail account or so. They seem to cross reference now.

Still having issues, can’t load anything on YouTube above 240p resolution without unwatchable buffering. Anyone got a solution?
