First time this happens to me. With a German protonvpn server.

    Have you considered trying out NewPipe or its fork Tubular (with SponsorBlocck built in)?

        Yeah when google breaks something newpipe and its forks usually get updated within a day or two. I really gotta donate to them again.

      Unfortunately NewPipe will not help with that. I get this message in a browser and in NewPipe.

        Have you tried if yt-dlp works? Cuz if that also doesnt, then maybe they actually temporarily blocked your IP?

        I have never gotten this message on yt so cant test it.

              No, it’s when I connect with my ISP at home. If I use Mullvad VPN or if I actually login into YouTube web app, everything works fine.

                That is so odd. Can you manually reroll your home networks external IP address? Maybe reconnect your router. I dont know how they would be able to reidentify you otherwise.
