I’m having the same issue on Freetube, it pops up and says it can’t play the video because Youtube requires being signed in. Sometimes if I retry a couple of time it’ll play, but usually keeps getting the same error. Freetube is great though, maybe they’ll come up with a solution soon.
I had a private invidious instance, with the bad idea to be attached with my paid domain, and even it was private , google crawl bots listed it into the Google Safe Browsing blacklist. In consequence, my domain admin (NJALLA) banned me: i had 1 year paid, they didn’t refund, and imagine the disaster in all my self hosted apps.

Agreed, my up-to-date freetube is having problems today.
Edit: with or without VPN makes no difference either
Unfortunately this has been going on few several months now. YT is actively blocking IPs if they think they are from data centers, VPNs, or proxies.
They’ve also been doing some under the hood cryptographic changes that cause breakages from time to time in Invidious (the backend for FreeTube)

oh shit, I did not even consider that could happen. I uh… need to go tear down an instance I don’t really use anymore.
Make sure you update freetube frequently
Yep, I’m on the latest version.
Damn that is annoying then
