I’ve been getting a “You must sign on to see this content” from YouTube (refusing to play the video if I don’t) for ages when I’m behind a VPN, but if I disconnect the VPN and try again I don’t get it.
Curiously, sometimes it doesn’t happen.
I guess YouTube has a list of IP addresses of VPN exit points and will do that if it detects a connection coming from one of those, but at least for my VPN provider some exit points are not in the list.
Idk, for me it works well, i have almost the same latency and speed as if i wasn’t using it, maybe because their nodes are near me? Dunno, but i live in europe and there are a lot of people and nearby countries so it may be
I’m in Europe too and my experience with TOR is not quite the same.
Then again I’m in one the more peripheric bits of Europe and not surrounded by countries were people run TOR nodes, so TOR probably more bottlenecked than in a more central place in Europe.
That said, surfing behind a VPN (which I pay for) plus provides me the level of privacy which I need at the moment.

With TOR i don’t have problems on youtube, somehow
Isn’t TOR a bit too slow to watch videos in YouTube?

I am near France, Austria, Swiss and not too distant from germany too, so i suppose i have a couple of nodes nearby
