    Default The Google mafia just keeps getting more brazen

    This is about Google blocking VPN users from using Youtube.
    Is anybody else getting this?

    They seem to have an AI that learns about you and then blocks access after repeated attempts, showing then suddenly "Webpage not available".
    This seems also country specific (USA servers have always worked for me up to now) and sometimes Youtube works the next day on an Australian server which would be a different IP until Google learns and blocks that one too.
    I am not talking about country restrictions of individual videos but youtube.com itself is then fully blocked.
    Disabling the VPN immediately allows youtube access again.

    Googles also sometimes blocks Nord VPN on my Android phone too lately but when I disable data and reconnect, I assume a different IP is used and it works a while again.
    I guess they are still learning.

    Wow, NordVPN is sure fighting back.
    I have got now 204 Australian servers to choose from.
    Youtube no problem ATM.
