I use ProtonVPN (paid) and its works with Youtube just fine. I mean, occasionally you get a "Sign in to prove your're not a bot", but I just disconnect and reconnect and its a new server and it should work.

I mostly use North America servers via the "Secure Core" feature through Switzerland.

I'm using Fennec + uBlock Origin.

For Lemmy, you should use another instance that allows VPNs. I can even use Tor on top of VPN on my instance.

Btw I wouldn't worry about the Andy Yen debacle unless he starts going full elon. He's only one board member after all. (But I am keeping an eye on it and preparing to move to alternatives)
