They&#x27;ve likely blocked your VPN because they think you&#x27;re trying to bypass region restrictions. In this case they don&#x27;t care whether you&#x27;re human or not: they simply want to make sure you can&#x27;t watch videos that would not normally be available in your country.<p>It&#x27;s a ridiculous system, but it&#x27;s unfortunately how media licensing <i>still</i> works.<p>You could try getting a cheap VPN endpoint device and putting it between your router and your residential internet connection. Then you could VPN to that device to access the (usually-blocked) YouTube while still using your residential IP (assuming the blocking is done on your router).
