YouTube won’t let me watch this video with my VPN on. Is this a new thing?

Grayjay is great but I wish it was fully open source

I think its better to leave it Closed Source, otherwise, YouTube team will be able to see how it works and how they circumvent their efforts on blocking 3rd party clients.

Alternatively they could decompile it

Yeah. Agreed, however in this landscape, I’m not in a hurry to make an enemy of good.
