The Internet Is About to Lose Anonymity
For now you can still circumvent that stuff with a VPN, like Mullvad or Proton VPN for example. Specifically for YouTube, if you set the VPN to Albania, you won't even see any ads. Google / YouTube does currently not have ads there as it's not economically viable. But, it is important to speak up ag

which vpn protocol is best for performance and for gaming
I’ve ended up getting ProtonVPN from their best ongoing deal. It’s been an exceptional VPN with Free trials with more security features. After testing it from multiple servers, I must say it is one of the best VPNs with a free trial to works flawlessly on any device. Proton VPN is amazing and consis

Ummm...how about "No."
Just hop to another country, they block certain countries but not others I have found. In some countries, Google / YouTube does not even show ads because it is not economically viable - try for example Albania, Uzbekistan, Armenia etc. That would also mean bye bye YouTube Premium should it work for

These are my Apps (Im 14 yrs old btw)
Is this the paid version of Proton VPN? If yes, set it to Rwanda, this will make even the official YouTube app ad-free.

A Moment of Silence for UKUsers
I recommend getting a VPN on your phone. I've been using the free version of Proton VPN to circumvent restrictions since the OSA came in. I'd say to write to your MP to complain but chances are they'd just call you a nonce

what is ao3 like in countries with age verification
I'm in the UK. Reddit is a pain now because the app doesn't like VPN but also I refuse to age-verify just to talk about smutty fanfiction, so I have the proton vpn app and toggle it on/off AO3 is entirely unchanged I don't engage with fandom on any other platform, so no clue there

Youtube fought Ad Blockers, Now they're fighting VPNs?
Proton VPN or Mullvad set to Albania works and makes YouTube ad-free as well (Google / YouTube currently do not show any ads in Albania). I have found that YouTube blocks some countries and does not block others when using VPNs. Albania has worked consistently for me.

What in the indoctrination hell is this? Idaho is turning into Iran.
Proton VPN has a free tier. You don't get to pick your location but it gets you around the Christofacist wall

Switching from ProtonVPN to Windscribe: Some of My Experiences
I didn't read the whole thing but I'm going to say that I have a Proton Unlimited subscription that includes ProtonVPN, and I still paid $29/year for Windscribe and use it as my main VPN. Proton VPN is ok and it mostly works, but I feel Proton spread their limited resources too thin across too many
