Are there any working instances of Invidious left? (lemmy.ml)

I really hope the answer is "yes," but gosh-darned if I can find one. The FreeTube app still works as long as my VPN is off, but as for Invidious . . . (also, sorry if this has already been covered earlier).

That reminds me, I think I remember reading on the FreeTube page that they recommended using a VPN with it (this was before the current issues with Mullvad); anyone know why? Are FreeTube users in any danger of being hunted down by Sundar Pichai & co.?

the reason might be is that freetube can only proxy your usage over a server when using invidious, otherwise it needs to connect to youtube directly, making it possible for them to track you by IP (and by logged in users using yt from the same IP)

@Nonbinary_Sahrah
My recent experience: YouTube keeps on asking me to sign on (I never do) if I'm on the vpn. I'm using mullvad.

It sometimes works if I change location and always works if I turn off the vpn.

( I don't know if it's specific to mullvad though)
