And if you use one, are you happy with it?
I’m trying to get more into privacy and security and VPN is currently a struggle for me (and it seems also for some people in my social circle). It’s mostly cost, effectiveness, but also connection issues (not being able to connect to servers, not reaching websites, sometimes slower speed.

I use both all the time in the same VPN. Other then sometimes switching locations to find a good one, never a problem.
Are you using the Invidious API? Those are broke as hell.
I was using whatever api Freetube comes with. Do you have a recommended of one that works?
YT broke the Invidious API last month, which barely worked to begin with.
Use your VPN for the thing it’s meant to do and don’t use any API. Just change the VPN to a non-primary location, and turn off the API or use the local IP fallback. If it doesn’t work, change locations again until it works.
I’ll give it a shot. Thanks very much.
I installed Freetube again and it’s working without making any changes. Looks like a different Invidious instance is set as default.
Just turn them off and default to local IP. The Invidious API doesnt work right now.
