Hello,

Sad news for everyone. YouTube/Google has patched the latest workaround that we had in order to restore the video playback functionality.

Right now we have no other solutions/fixes. You may be able to get Invidious working on residential IP addresses (like at home) but on datacenter IP addresses Invidious won’t work anymore.

If you are interested to install Invidious at home, we remind you that we have a guide for that here: https://docs.invidious.io/installation/..

This is not the death of this project. We will still try to find new solutions, but this might take time, months probably.

I have updated the public instance list in order to reflect on the working public instances: https://instances.invidious.io. Please don’t abuse them since the number is really low.

Feel free to discuss this politely on Matrix or IRC.

    I poked around dbzer0 and found a few streaming sites, Nothing which carried anything i was particularly interested in.

    Navigating this stuff without my ISP getting pissy is another hurdle, too.

    It was much easier 20+ years ago when you just searched KaZaA or Limewire, or back when piratebay was the site (and before it got drowned in virus traps)

      check out the megathread for generic info and recommendations.

      https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/30062 specific thread for i2p, there’s plenty more information out there, you can also ask me about a few things as well.

      the TL;DR for doing it without ur isp bonking u is to use a VPN, or a seedbox, which are options. Though you’ll ideally want to use anonymous payment services like monero instead of something else, if you really want to be secure.

      from what i understand, private trackers are generally fine and secure, aside from the fact that ur isp might not like the traffic, but that’s a fault of the ISP, not the law. torrenting is perfectly legal. Though using a VPN is probably still recommended anyway.

      navigating malicious software is kind of hit or miss now, but it’s more likely you’ll find them on bigger reaching platforms, and in actual software, rather than like, mp3s or movies. That’s just basic opsec though. (again private trackers are beneficial for this reason, they have better QA and vetting)
