YouTube stops loading after 60 seconds on some servers, in VPN mode

[nullchinchilla]

For instance, 62.210.95.48, on Scaleway, is an example.

This appears to be because certain *.googlevideo.com domains (which serve YouTube videos) block requests from these servers with a 403.

This seems to only happen for IPv4 requests, and these servers do have IPv6 support, so using proxy mode works fine. So a current workaround is to use "fake DNS mode" in Geph.

Hmm, "fake dns" doesn't really fix this, and sometimes using proxy mode doesn't work either.

（使用率低的）法国、荷兰、波兰59秒卡死，（使用率高的）加拿大、德国貌似木有。
【手动跨越59秒死点】59秒以前不要播放，此后才开始播放。或
【死点续播】当它停止在 0:59 时，右键单击视频并选择“复制当前时间的视频网址”选项，在新标签页中打开此网址，能够毫无问题地观看视频的其余部分。

We've decided to fix this issue by moving away from Scaleway bridges. I'll keep this issue open until that happens.

This can happen again because most of your users are Iranian and cause outgoing IPs to be identified as Iranian everywhere. Especially Google Mostly because of access to users' locations in their accounts.
