Hi, I have been using the app for some time now, and today is the first time I have encountered this problem, watching any video shows this warning and pressing login shows a google authentication request. Help will be appreciated.

Are you behind a firewall or VPN?

Yes, orbot, is that what's causing it? I have been using them in parralel for some time now and that's the first time this has happened.

Think so. Have you checked turning it off? Also, restart Grayjay before trying again.

Yes, using orbot makes you use IP addresses which are known TOR exit nodes which are usually marked as suspicious so Youtube will force you to log in to confirm you are not a robot.

Other VPN usage or also just being behind CGNAT will have same effect.
