Hi, I need some help here, when I click on a DU link to a YouTube video I get the message... [View all]

"Sign in to prove you're not a bot".

This has never happened before, and if I click the link, I still can't sign in.

Can anyone help me, or should I call my 11 year old grandson?

Yes, because I'm on a unsecured network. Does that make a difference? Enter stage left Jun 2025 #2

Youtube does not like VPN's. Eko Jun 2025 #3
