Log in to verify you're not a bot on YouTube
You're encountering the "sign in to confirm your not bot" error on YouTube consistently across one computer while other devices work fine. It seems unrelated to your browser settings or VPN configuration. This issue might be tied to how YouTube detects automated behavior, possibly involving account verification or third-party scripts. Have you tried reaching out to YouTube support for further assistance?
Unless you opt for a personal VPN service, you'll likely face restrictions from VPN blocks everywhere.
They’re preventing your IP address from being used. Do you understand what that means? Are you trying to access YouTube directly, or is there another reason for the VPN?
While using a VPN usually links you to many devices or users, platforms like YouTube notice this as multiple simultaneous streams. This activates their automated safeguards because it resembles mass download attempts. Besides that, the IP addresses offered by popular VPN services are also widely recognized. Major content distributors—such as Netflix—have implemented various defenses, sometimes even blocking these connections entirely. From their perspective, there’s no valid justification for a VPN; in fact, you might be attempting to bypass regional restrictions.
I think I'll use a different IP that hasn't been tried before—this one has never happened before.
You might receive various IP addresses, but connecting to the same server usually results in the same public IP each time. It's similar to switching clients on your home network, though if it affects just one, they might be tracking the browser. Have you tried private browsing or using a different browser?
I used a brave browser, but the problem lies with the VPN. It worked with proton.vpn, yet private VPN remains blocked. I tested many IP addresses and servers, but it fails on my main computer. It functions on another machine.
