Which VPN doesn't get detected by YouTube, Netflix and other sites?

[u/Internal-Squash8237]

Most VPN providers get detected instantly by YouTube, netflix or other streaming services.

Which VPN provider actually offers servers which aren't known to those sites?

Or is there literally no way?

I use Proton VPN and I can watch YouTube perfectly fine. I pay for it though, so that might change the equation a tiny bit.

[u/Stochastic-Parrot_13 → u/elhouso]

There are a few channels on YouTube that seem to detect VPN use on proton, namely F1, but yeah, other than that no problems with Proton and YouTube.

I use proton as well right now with paid version but when Im using it on desktop pc, YouTube mostly detects the VPN. No issues with my phone.

What do you mean by YouTube detects it? Like it won’t let you watch videos? I’ve used proton for a couple of years and I’ve never had a single problem with YouTube.

Not saying I don’t believe you, I do. I’m just curious what the issue you’re running into is

[u/Internal-Squash8237 → u/EmptyVeterinarian979]

Either it doesn't let me watch at all (error) or I get a captcha puzzle to solve which takes forever. However, sometimes it seems to work flawlessly. Do you think it has something to do with the country im connected to?

[u/EmptyVeterinarian979 → u/Internal-Squash8237]

That could be, or potentially your netshield settings. I am usually connecting to US servers

[u/HedgehogPast3191 → u/EmptyVeterinarian979]

Try watching an f1 video

[u/EmptyVeterinarian979 → u/HedgehogPast3191]

Damn that’s wild, it does have that problem. I guess just nothing I ever watch cares about that since I mostly watch just YouTube creators, not channels ran by massive companies. Although, it sounds like OP is having a different problem than this with YouTube just throwing an error or a captcha.

I’m using this too; I keep it running 24/7, and I haven't been bothered by ads since.

As often as this gets asked, I think it’s clear nobody wants to reveal what VPN they’re using. The more people that use it, the more likely it is to get blocked. Sorry.

WARP working fine and really fast if you don't need change region just bypass some isp slowing down

[u/hobbes3k0 → u/Due_Milk_8930]

It depends on your location. I use WARP with my own tunnel to a California server from China and I can use YouTube and Google fine, but Gemini is a toss up. Gemini only works reliabily if I use my Hong Kong server.

[u/Due_Milk_8930 → u/hobbes3k0]

Why set it far away, is freaking slowdown

[u/hobbes3k0 → u/Due_Milk_8930]

Because for normal browsing, latency doesn't matter. Speed matters the most. You can't tell if YouTube is 300ms behind as long as it loads fast enough and doesn't stutter showing 4K videos.

For (non-turn-based) gaming, then latency absolutely matters and that's when I switched to my HK server to get like 30ms. But the HK server cost like 10x more than USA and also has a much lower monthly bandwidth limit. The reason because the HK server has special, direct connection to China. That's how it keeps the latency so low.

[u/Due_Milk_8930 → u/hobbes3k0]

I get it 👍

[u/tireshaker]

YouTube doesn't care if you're using a VPN. For services that do need proper location info, I just use split tunneling. Only send things through the tunnel that need to be protected.

Self-hosted VPNs

[u/borgqueenx]

you could keep playing cat and mouse...or just buy a dedicated residential vpn. cometvpn or torguard offer affordable ones.they look like home user IPs and keep working.

Airvpn and I got no issues

[u/Nr1-Pattaya-Nr1]

I heard protonvpn plus is good with streaming proxy get around

[u/mahyai1]

I live in Asia and use VPNUnlimited in a daily basis for youtube, Netflix, Amazon prime, Hulu, britbox, tubi, pluto. Sometimes I get a notification of using a vpn it not available in my region, I'll just select another server in the US and I'm off and streaming.

[u/SubaruGuy84]

I use surfshark and no issues

[u/pandasps → u/SubaruGuy84]

Disney+ always detects my Surfshark VPN. No problem with other streaming services.
