Newpipe and using a VPN

github.com [YouTube] Can't play any video - "Sign in to confirm that you're not a bot" · Issue #11139 · TeamNewPipe/NewPipe

Checklist I am able to reproduce the bug with the latest version given here: CLICK THIS LINK. I made sure that there are no existing issues - open or closed - which I could contribute my informatio...

I seem to be suffering from the above bug

https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/11139

but it only seems to pervade if I'm using Tailscale to VPN ~~home~~ to my exit node at a family members house?

Is Google / YT blocking the use of VPN's here / anyone else experiencing this?

Newpipe plus mullvad VPN, no issues
- It's really strange, and testing via ProtonVPN some do and don't work.
  But I think where I've found my main issue is the Exit Node I have at a family member's house that I use through Tailscale.
  None of them work on that connection and, I don't know if it makes a difference but it is a CGNAT'ed connection whilst my exit node at home seemingly works fine and has an external IP.
  Thanks for the confirmation!
  
  Google could be rolling out a new pipe killer, and we're just seeing the a/b test effect now.
  We'll have to wait and see. For now you can change the endpoint on your VPNs as you indicated
  A nat or cgnat could be interesting, somebody might trigger the bot detector behind the nat, so we might be seeing a new bot detection algorithm rather than a new pipe killer.
