Where do you host your self hosted piped instance so it's ip doesn't get blocked by youtube? (feddit.rocks)

What VPS hosting do you recommend that has IPs not blocked by youtube and crypto payments for personal use?

It really sucks when both ISP and youtube itself are trying to lock you out of their service. I dont wanna give youtube any of my data but i also can't (reliably) access it from my local network due to the fact that my goverment really sucks :(

Entirely self-hosted at home, on Proxmox. My Piped server (as well as many others) can only reach the internet via my Mullvad VPN.

VPN?

so i need to host a vpn server somewhere the yputube isn't blocking server's ip. it's no problem to host vpn and piped at the same time, but it's a problem to find a server without a blocked ip

Not a server, only a client at home. YouTube is blocking VPNs servers IPs? I will check with my provider to see if it's the case.

I got a vps from a hetzner reseller and the ip was already blocked by youtube from the start, so i suppose the block IPs from all public ASNs... at least i know that youtube is probably not blocking hosting provider IPs in my country and i can theoretucally get a vps on a non-censored server within the country for just the proxy... but i dont wanna store my data in the country so i would need to essentially pay for 2 servers one of which is just for the piped proxy which is obviously not ideal
