My main focus is on downloading not streaming. When the VPN is working it goes from kB to MB speeds. I rarely stream unless it's less than 4 minutes or so.

Currently, I disable the VPN to start the download, then turn it on again for a speedy finish. It's rather tedious, but when I'm in a slow cell signal area, it works fine.

I get update notices threw the app. Fdroid is about a day or 2 later.

That was a bust! I reinstalled 28.2, and it working again.

Well, that didn't last long. I'm already getting blocked!

Agreed. I just keep at it until the video loads. It may be, that YouTube is getting better at being an ass about drm too.

LOL. I just went to look at a US National Forest campground site, and my Canadian VPN settings blocked me out!

Can that be considered a new Cold War
